 1) The general Membership meeting will be held on Sunday, August 2nd in Columbia. Start time will announced at a later date.

2) Potential 2010 Festival Hosts - Download the festival host application for the 2010 season here. Please note if you are interested in applying for the Kansas City Color Guard Regional on Feb. 20th or either the guard or percussion championships on March 27th you will need to complete this same form. If you are selected to host one of these events, you will receive further information that will need to be signed off on. Deadline for applications is August 2nd (with the exception of the regional - see below). A Festival Host meeting will be required this year on August 2nd prior to the general membership meeting. An exact time will be announced soon. If you are interested in hosting a festival a representative from your school must attend this meeting.

3) Show schedule - If you open the attached Host application form, you will also notice a tentative schedule of shows based on area (sites will be announced later). Please note that it is not possible to avoid conflicts with district music events/prom/etc. with Championships as well as other shows. Due to the large area we cover this is not possible, and we understand that some will encounter conflicts.
