How about you two take off a couple days to let me catch up? ;-) I'm getting killed in division 1.

Tell me about it. Sitting in 34th for now. Doesn't look promising, but Black Beat NZ is known for it's strong finishes. Bottom line, more consistency in our rehearsals.

SoW is giving me a run for my money again! That drum line better not ease up while I'm sticking my toes in the lake over this next week, where is that auto pilot button? Lol

jeez the drumlines are scoring higher than the marching bands and drum corps, the scores are gonna be off the charts this season

Haha, autopilot, love it. Which button was that?

That should be Alex's next fix. No, wait, someone will find some way to abuse it ;-)

PEARL is ripping up Division 1!

wow we won in our hometown tonight. this pleases me a lot

Fourteen of the top seventeen. O_O

It is that time once again. The PEARL HoF ballot is now open. This season's nominees are,

The link to the ballot is below. Please vote!

So I made a mistake guys! Sorry, the HoF induction is NEXT season, not this season. So i guess completey ignore the current ballot

I WAS a little confused, but no worries, man.

PEARL currently has the largest Championship turnout on FMA, with over 9,000 + attendees and 60 drumlines from around the world already registered to participate. What a monumentous event for our league. Any other drumlines that have a spot open for the Championship, feel free to apply

Upgrading assistant director to level 20: $3,000.
Upgrading assistant director to level 21: $15,000.
OK...

Unless I'm misremembering, Alex did that on purpose. It used to be that staff maxed at level 20. He added five extra levels (at an extreme premium) to give people something to spend money on after hitting level 20.

I mean, it makes perfect sense to do that. I just wasn't aware of it.

Who's the hungriest? DII looks interesting in the battle for silver.

It's a shame that, barring a tie for third, one of those groups won't get a medal. What a season those groups are having!
