Top 10 in Each Div go to Semis. Then I think Top 10 Overall from Semis goes to Finals.

I think that's right.

My goal is to break 75 in prelims. I doubt we'll make it to semis. I'm already working on my Season X show; I want to make semis next season.

It's looking like both of my groups are going to make Semis...not too sure about finals

Too bad they can't set up Finals to be like WGI or DCI in which the top 15 or top 12 make finals.

OMG!! I got 11th place... I was one spot shy of making finals... GRR!!!

Oh well.. it was a good season and I had fun for sure. Can't wait until next season!!

My High School band got 7th at DivI Prelims, so I'm happy. My drum corps in DivII finally broke 80, but they didn't make semis :[ Better luck next season.

On the plus side, my High School band making Semis gives me a reputation point for next season I think. That means an easier time hiring higher-level staff

I placed 9th in Division II. There seemed to be a lot of score jumping today.

I found out that Prelims is Semi-Finals. Top 10 from each division make Finals, which has been moved to Sunday instead of Saturday.

Ministry of Silence performed very well in prelims. Our score rocketed from a 72.78 at our last show on Saturday up to a 77.61 in Prelims. We were 18th out of 63 in Division III, and 48th out of 180 in all of FMB. Our music score of 27.03 was the high music score for ALL OF FMB PRELIMS (all divisions). Awesome!

If we had been in Division I, we would have placed 9th and been on our way to Finals. Maybe next year.
