Many important topics were up for discussion this year at the Percussion Advisory Meeting. Sampler rules, age limit, the addition of all wind instruments and even the future of the championships location. But one proposal really hit home, the elimination of "Box 6" on the sheets. What was once a box that encouraged ensembles to push the limits of the activity is now considered an out dated set of criteria that is longer necessary. Cheers to you old friend, and may you rest in peace :)
