On Apr. 2, Apr. 3, and Apr. 9 our JV Percussion and Varsity Percussion competed in the 2011 Southern California (SCPA) Championships Preliminaries at Great Oak HS in Temecula and later in the Championships at the Coussoulis Arena in San Bernardino. Our Percussion team ended SCPA Preliminaries with great success, placing first in PSA and PSW with scores of 88.90 and 94.50 respectively. On Apr. 9, PSA placed fourth with 88.84 points, and PSW again was victorious, placing first with 95.24 points. Teams at the competition were scored based on their overall general effect, performance quality, and visual appeal. Percussion Instructor Kevin Sherrill (IM STILL WAITING FOR QUOTE REPLIES)…

BLURB!

just a quick note, you might want to say what psw and psa means.
it means Percussion Schoolastic World and Percussion Schoolastic A line.
(and there's a third Percussion line, its Percussion Schoolastic Open line.)
and actually you don't even really need to say PSA or PSW.
just say World line or Open line. its easier.

A, Open, and World are divisions. (they're in order from least to highest)
World is the highest division possible. and schoolastic just means that its a high school that's competing.

SCPA stands for Southern California Percussion Alliance

And if you want to check up on some stuff, go visit the scpa website at sc-pa.org
you can fact check scores and stuff over there. and also, if you need any contacts, ask me. Im a go to gal for guard and percussion.

and if anything confuses you, you can ask me too.

OH! and the competition season is also called Winterguard.
...it just is.. don't ask. i dont know either.

and dont talk about World line too much,just a quick mention? Bc i dont think theres a need for two articles about World Line
its just some percussion/guard jargon sorry.
