What a wonderful first two weekends! After a tremendous two qualifying contests, the season is off and running. We had great spectator turnout, great fun, great competition, and most importantly - great performances! 2012 is sure to be the most exciting season yet!

With our classification systems, there are many units reclassified for the next shows. With this in mind, look for the schedule that says "FINAL."
