Still division 2 this season after winning it last season by 7 points. Ouch.

I think it's because I have relatively low influence so my early season scores are always pretty low. Fortunately, my marching band got bumped up.

Is anyone else having a struggle writing unique show ideas?

I have a spreadsheet where I list potential future shows whenever I think of them. Right now I have a backup of 11 marching band shows, 3 drum corps shows (although these two are largely interchangeable), 5 winterguard shows, and 5 drumline shows. I usually have the most trouble with coming up with drumline shows.

I just looked through my schedule and I realized that I didn't get declined at from a single show this season.

I'm still missing a guard show on the 26th and a drumline show on the 27th, though

I've noticed that I always start the season on the bottom half of the division, but I always climb and make it to a igh position. Why would that be? Am I just more active on here than most people?

More active, how you set up your show (especially if it's harder can start slow then pick up) and as higher groups get closer to 100, those below can still climb while those at the top are much slower. I've been 4-5 points behind the eventual winner and either took them and won or got within 10ths

Yeah I think Alex’s sites went down for a bit for some reason because I went to alexyoder.com and that wasn’t working either

I think there was a server issue. At least it was short lived!

I know this isn't about FMA but I didn't want to make a new subject but I just learned today that I made Regionals jazz in Connecticut southern region. Dannng this year was hard. I know many kids who tryed out and didn't get accepted. for Band, Orchestra, and Jazz. Crazy. Out of 5 people who audition to jazz at my school only 2 got in. Me and my friend. Its funny because its our first time since 8th grade.... Now we're Juniors lol. I barely made it cutoff was 74 and GOT 74. My friend got in with a 72 out of 93. It's funny he got the wrong piece. So they took A LOT of points off. But still made it.

Woo! Finals is upon us!

There's a tight race for third in colourguard, with three groups within 0.3 points of one another. Excited to see how this turns out!
