01/08 Color Guard Music Licensing Form
The Color Guard Music Licensing Form is now available in the resources area. We have had a little trouble with the link working for some people, so I have also uploaded it to another server. If you have any problems accessing the form through the SAPA site, please use THIS LINK.

12/12 Unit Status and Show Caps
At this time, all units who have not paid their fees have had their status changed to "pending" on the website and have been removed from the shows for which they had previously registered. As soon as fees are received in full (including the $50 late fee), the unit's status will be returned to "active" and you will then be able to register for shows.

Also, Keith Guier, our contest coordinator, is in the process of capping shows at their maximum number. If a show is closed and you need to register for it, you must contact Keith at keithguier@bellsouth.net to be added to the wait list. Please DO NOT contact anyone else on the eboard in this situation as it will delay your request. Keith is the only person who will deal with this matter.

12/05 Winter Color Guard Instructors/Judges/Performers Clinic
The 2nd Annual Winter Color Guard Instructors/Judges/Performers Clinic held on Dec. 1st was a HUGE success. We had over 120 participants, and the sessions were outstanding. Huge thanks go out to Forsyth Central for hosting, Phantom Regiment for running the performers clinic and all of the clinicians for bringing such a wealth of information to our circuit. As always, we are interested in your feedback as we plan for next year. If you were with us on Saturday, please take a few minutes to fill out our ONLINE SURVEY so that we can use your feedback as we plan for next year.
