Yesterday, for the first(and hopefully only) time of the season the FMA Directors agreed to have a Double Header, holding the postponed competitions from Tuesday, on Thursday as well as having the regularly schedule competitions.
First, the results from our Home Show - The Wolves Den Invitational V.IP
It was a fairly small turn out, with only 4 other PIO Ensembles at the show.
WPT took 3rd with a 59.595
The ensemble took first in Music Performance(17.875), 2nd in the Overall Music Caption(26.290), first in Visual Performance(6.925), and 2nd in the Overall Visual Caption(12.215)
The kids then got a half hour break and headed over to our second show of the day/night, 'The Timpani Tussle'(Hosted by Marching Timpanis(and other percussion instruments)).
It was a slightly larger PIO turn out, with 9 total units competing.
WPT placed 6th with a 59.600.
The ensemble also won Music Performance(17.875), and Visual Performance(6.925).
Overall it was a decent day for the unit, given the immense changes made to the schedule at such short notice.
Wolfs Percussion Theatre currently ranks 2nd in PIO in Music Performance, 2nd in Visual Performance, and 18th overall.
Due to the change in the schedule I have taken the ensemble out of our schedule competition for this coming Saturday.

The Greatness Competition - Results
Wolfs Percussion Theatre returned to FMA PIO action once again, on Wednesday October 28th, 2009.
The Ensemble competed against 17 other Open Class Groups at 'The Great Competion', hosted by BG Greatness.
The Ensemble scored a 58.135 and finished in 10th overall.
The ensemble placed second in Music Performance with a 18.055.
They also placed second in Visual Performance with a 6.780
WPT currently ranks 2nd in PIO for Music Performance, and moved up to 3rd in Visual Performance.
Musically the ensemble is just inches away from leading the pack, and Visually they are climbing to the front, now in the top 3. It will be great if they can truly bring the entire package together for the end of the season and make another run at a medal.

HOME SHOW Rained Out
Due to very very nasty weather, FMA has imformed The Directors that any shows on the 27th will be re-scheduled for a later date(hopefully sometime this week.) I will have the results for that show once it has finished.
However, do not fret WPT fans for this was only slated to be day 2 of our 6-day grind fest to open our return to FMA Competition. There will (hopefully) be results from the rest of the week.

Drums in the Zoo - Results
After 3 season's off Wolfs Percussion Theatre returned to FMA PIO action on Monday October 26th, 2009.
The Ensemble competed against 16 other Open Class Groups at 'Drums in the Zoo', hosted by Hyperion.
The Ensemble scored a 57.320 and finished in 9th overall.
While the kids were disappointed and hoped they would place better than they did, I believe this was an amazing result. Considering that nearly the entire ensemble is brand new and we have not competed in 3 season's, this is somewhat surprising.
The ensemble Took first in Music Performance with a 17.125.
They also took first in Visual Performance with a 6.510
WPT currently ranks 2nd in PIO for Music Performance, and 4th in Visual Performance.
Hopefully the kids can keep this up and will be ahead of the pack soon enough. I'm proud of the ensemble and look forward to our home show Tuesday evening.
