Hopefully FAME will be able to add some more League shows to the schedule ... Having 100+ groups in a League with no show larger than 20 potential groups is a recipe for groups having no shows ... Especially when most of the groups have little to no influence !!!


Going to be tough even applying for let alone getting into shows with low influence. Maybe Alex will create some general FMA shows to bolster the overall number of shows for not only FAME but also all the other masses of new FMA player's.

Please welcome our two newest corps to FAME, Devil Crusaders and Ghost Riders. These veteran corps will no doubt help to raise the bar. We hope your experience with FAME and FMA is a fun one.

The Arsenal D&BC has signed onto the Fantasy Alliance of Marching Ensembles. We're excited to take things to the next level at FAME and for our group to join a company of D1 rising stars that will wrestle with the top caliber as we continue to improve.

Let us make waves.

We're growing with division 1 corps. This pleases me. My next goal is making division 1 finals. It's weird scoring over a 90 but still not going higher than 17th place (lol).

Hey Aaron. Yes, it's good to see the numbers growing in each division. And the quality of corps we are attracting is at a high standard right now. What amazes me is between DI and DII corps the majority is from the Class of 36. If we all stick together and aim for a reasonable goal, say in X amount of seasons, we could all seriously challenge for top 12 finish in DI. We have the potential to compete against CLASS and MAoMA.

DI corps were respectable this season with both Dark Knights and Aftershock NZ making it into semis. And looking through our family, I see we have no less than 15 corps who have the capability of pushing FAME into the spotlight within the next few seasons.

DIVISION II!! Do I need say anything more. You guys and gals were freakin' awesome last season. Taking the top 5 and 7 out of 12 finals spots, what more of a statement can you make? Northern Lights gold, Patriots silver, and Jagerbombers bronze. Watch out for this group of corps next season.

And DIII, three finalists in their first season, The Commonwealth Crusaders, Buccaneers, and bluecoats, all 3 capable of a finals spot this season in DII.

Yes, things are looking up.

Hopefully one of us three will make finals in an upcoming season, maybe even this one.
Whoever it is, it'll be nice to break the ranks of CLASS and MAoMA. Then the other two will come in to make it permanent.

The best part is how FAME was established literally just last month and now we're seeing class acts all across the board in a league with 110+ members. Now that's what I call explosive. The dynamite we need to blow a hole into the mountain that is D1 Finals.

We had 17 and 24 (25 if you include myself though I still was with GEDC) in D1.
We took 8/12 of D2's finalists, the top five all being from FAME.
We took 6 and 10 from D3.

All that in the inaugural season. We're making waves here.

nobody will get mad at you for that lol,

btw, yes I won gold last season and Im very happy to represent fame but I must give a shout out to Fixed Arrow in class. If it weren't for the Crossmen camp, Fixed Arrow probably would be the season 39 gold medalist.

sbales, I took out my S37 (first D1 season) to fundraise and my S38 on hiatus. This past season was my first true D1 season haha.

I did end up with a buttload of money when I came back. Fundraising is good.

Rhythmic, I'd be curious to see how this plays out. Arsenal v Aftershock. Last season was also my first DI full season, only difference, I didn't take any time off to fundraise or campaign. We ended pretty much even last season. So yes, I am curious to see if there is any real advantage to which way you earn the money and influence v scores. Also, we have a few more DI corps who took last season to campaign/fundraise and should be ready for the first full competition season now. Needless to say, FAME is on the rise and like I said before, if we stick together, we can and will make an impact on FMA.
