Done!

--- BREAKING NEWS --- 1) ECJ 2) Spartans However, Spartans got a .6 penalty. Without that they would have won the show. Guess we need to get on the field faster :) -Scott

--- OFFICIAL SPARTANS STAFF RESPONSE --- We apologize if we offended anyone. Our response was in defense of our members. All we ask is that this rule is applied evenly to all other drumcorps. Thank you. --- OFFICIAL SPARTANS STAFF RESPONSE ---

With such a short time left in the season the fees for the season would be only $50.00, yes you read that correctly!

Fred :) You really are a walking drum corps encyclopedia.

Hello All, Exciting times are coming for DPL.net. Yes, that means major web site updates . In the next 3-6 months we will be setup as an official 501© non-profit organization. This will allow us to start to offer major scholarships as well as form strategic partnerships and other things to help promote marching percussion. As such we are looking to add some people to the team. None of these positions are paid, however those who travel to DCI, WGI, etc. with us will have their travel paid. Travel will also be paid to those who are selected for the Board of Directors for our annual meeting in New York City. We are looking to add people to the following 4 positions: A) Board of Directors President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Public Relations Director Would be required to attend the annual Board of Directors meeting. Also be available for quarterly conference calls and regular day to day E-Mail communication. B) Web Site Developers 2 Positions Available We could really use people in this department. Would be responsible for web site design, putting up new media from our media department, and overall public image. During the WGI season we would expect to have the site updated weekly. During the DCI season every 3-4 days. C) Media Capture 25-40 Positions Would be responsible for capturing media (both video and audio) for the web site. You would have to have your own audio capture equipment. It is preferable that you also have video capture equipment, however DPL.net owns some video equipment. DPL.net shirts are provided so that you are easily identified as part of the crew. In an ideal world a person can cover at least 2 DCI shows and 1 WGI show per year. We will take a few of these people to WGI and DCI Championships every year. D) Media Processing 3-5 Positions Would be responsible for taking the media from the people in group C and making it digital (MP3 for audio, QuickTime .mov for video). Must have the equipment and software to be able to do this. THIS POSITION IS KEY to making this project run smoothly. We appreciate people who will step up and handle this. You can apply and serve in more than one group, but we want to get this away from a 2-3 person show. So ideally someone is not part of more than two groups, but we'll see how the response is. If you would like to apply, please send your information (and resume if Board of Directors) to sdubois@ndctech.com. Thank you. -Scott
