I will post more details soon. The Championship will take place on our normal Tuesday of Finals Week. It will be a first applied, first accepted. The hosting is only temporary till we re-organize. There will be a way to participate in the Championship as we will virtually include your latest score into the final standings. Hope this helps for now.

Who else has a B account that can still host? Remember that 60 lines attended championships last year

Hello cjbuckley,

If PEARL needs an additional Season ending championship show in order to allow all PEARL groups to participate, I would be willing to host a show on November 17th with my main group FastForward. I do not need the cash so I would only set a $5 Ticket price. Let me know if you still need an additional show.

Thanks,

FastForward

I wouldn't necessarily be the first person to talk to about that, but I appreciate the offer. If I were you I'd ask the board about it

Hey FF, thank you for the kind gesture. If you would like to help, please PM myself, kiwidrummer, and echstrumpet8 about a potential show on the 17th.
Thank you

The PEARL Championships has been created. Here are the details:

PEARL Championships - Verizon Center
Washington, DC
Tuesday, November 17th, 2015

Get in quick. 30 spots open. We will have virtual scores if more than 30 drumlines.

I regretfully announce that I will be leaving PEARL in order to start my own league. I cannot thank you all enough for the time I've spent here, and I wish you all as individuals and as a league continued success now and in the future.

To all PEARL members. Please hang in there. While this seems to be a dark season in our short history, PEARL will rebound to the status as the ultimate drumline league in FMA.

While we do have a makeshift championship, my drumlines are hanging in there and giving back to the FMA community as a whole. We are entering non-league affiliated events to help promote the brothership and friendly competitive spirit across FMA without the boundaries that a league can present.

We hope that everyone will embrace a competitive spirit this season and prove that while PEARL may not have a schedule this season, we still have some of the most influential drumlines in FMA.

PEARL by division
Division 1: 17 drumlines
Division 2: 18 drumlines
Division 3: 19 drumlines

Consistency.

Attention PEARL. The board has decided that our next course of action is the rebranding of PEARL with a new founder. Soon, we will create a new league where all of you are welcome, and where we will put up league events and be the active league weve always been. Please guys, hang in there and wait just a little while longer. Things will run smoothly once we get this new league in place.
Thank you,
Alexander

PERC has applied to some PEARL member shows. I know its a big ask, but please accept them so we can get the director level to 10 to create our new home.

Thank you to the directors who have accepted our applications. There are 10 so far. Hmmm...Level 10 Baby.

You will be supporting the re-birth of a league that took FMA by storm. Pearl will be re-branded as PERC.

More to come...
