RMPA Newsletter #13

Congratulations to each and every RMPA ensemble on a fantastic 2026 season! The resounding message from all of the adjudicators we had in this season just confirms what we already know: RMPA is in a great place and continuing to grow and improve.

As we transition into the 'off-season', these newsletters will be less frequent, but we will strive to continue putting out useful information to help build on this year and give you tools to have an even better 2027. Thank you to those of you who read these newsletters, we hope you found them useful.

Please take the time to read some great feedback from Charley Poole (Music Judge from Championships).

Congratulations again, and best of luck to our 4 ensembles going on to Dayton for the WGI Percussion World Championships!

Colin Spear
