I am very proud to be announcing that tonight, all three Irish Athletic Arts groups placed within the top 5 of their divisions at the Season 3 Finals competition! It's been a long Season, and every step of the way these groups from Dublin have been showing everyone just what sort of performers we have over at the Isles.

The Sailor Indoor Percussion, not necessarily a heavily competitive group, competed for the first time since the beginning of the Season tonight, but was rewarded for their diligent rehearsal with an FMADL Div. III 5th place finish!

The Druids Drum & Bugle Corps, finishing their 5th Season in existence tonight, surpassed their highest achievement since their FMB Season XI Div. II 3rd place finish. Receiving a 75.285, the Music Winds and GE Music caption awards, and the silver medal, the Druids are your official Div. II FMADC Season 3 Runner-Up Champions!

And the real achievement tonight was earned by the brand new Shamrock Marching Band. A risk was taken on the creation of this group--- could the pure sound of the Druid's brass alumni transfer over to the woodwinds? The results of such an experiment were a resounding "yes!". The IAA is proud to announce the Shamrock Marching Band, your FMAMB Season 3 Div. III Grand Champions!

I hope you all have had a great Season, and look forward to the start of Season 4!
