I have had over 60 corps apply for this show, many of them from the east coast. This show is for corps that are members of the East Coast Combine and are based in our southern region. The ECC is a communal group that functions to form some friendly side competition within FMA, and to help newer directors find more shows for their corps. If you would like to participate in our combine, send a message to gcurrier, our Season 4 President. I'm not sure where our signup deadline stands for next season, but I'm sure if you're willing to follow a few basic guidelines (placing an ECC tag on your show, accepting a certain number of ECC corps depending on show size, placing your show on the date assigned as per the ECC calendar, etc.), Gary will probably be willing to work with you. We'd like to grow to the point where the regionals serve as Prelims for the ECC Championships held the next day. Check us out! http://easternc.webs.com
