I would like to be more active this season. The past two seasons have been the first two since my first season that my guard group wasn't a division medalist.

More activity on FMA would be awesome. Hopefully a lot of new and former FMA players compete this season!

Damn, I think that's a record for the fastest my events have filled up.
But people can still somehow apply to my events? I don't want to manually decline all these people.

Yeah they can still apply because you haven't technically filled the event yet.
I came here to apologize to anyone who got declined from Soaring Sounds Invitational. The event filled up fast!

Took a couple seasons off due to real life after a relatively average showing in Season 80. Most likely DIII this year so I'm hoping for consistent Finals appearances from all my groups going forward.

I'm hoping for a medal this time around. Gonna be my first time competing in a while.
I'm also looking for any active drumline/color guard leagues, send me an invite if anyone is looking for members.

Looks like a lot of old FMA players came back and there's a decent amount of new ones as well. Glad to see more people coming back into FMA :)

Uh oh! Hopefully we won’t get put in the same division Jim, or I might be seeing a lot of 2s!! Haha.
I’ve played through several seasons on here, and I always seem to forget to rehearse more than twice a day xD

Hey Tyler. You'll be sweet. I know I'll be in Div I. It's been about 15 seasons since I seriously competed. I've raised some funds, though still don't have all my staff and I've never done promotion for influence. That's all been earned from competing. I know I won't make waves this season, though I really am shooting for a top 5. It's been a few years since I've had home internet. My surgeries left me struggling financially for a while. Now I have a new laptop (yay, no more having to play on my phone), and I finally have home fibre. Not working so if I can get my butt up to rehearse I should be sweet. I think all the past drama kind of kept me away too. The duplicate account with people pretending to be who they were not, but that is an old can of worms that doesn't need opened. Anyways, I'm glad to be back, Best wishes for a successful season. I may start writing up select shows like I used to do. Just a thought right now.

Glad to see you back man, and that life is going well.
The drama has become nonexistent as things moved on. I’m glad that folks are starting to come back (like myself) and just compete again like the old days. I want to try and get FAME back and running to it’s full potential.
I used to do promotion stuff but I haven’t done anything in a couple years. I’ll be interested to see how my groups.
Not sure if I can commit time to whipping up write ups yet, but I am looking foreword to see what you’re planning!
Glad to see some of the old crew come back!

First shows were last night! Looks like we have some tight competition in division 3. The leaders in division 2 separated by points, and an absolute runaway in division 1. Will Unspecified maintain it's momentum across the season? Only time will tell.
