2009-04 WITHDRAWN Reinstate Double Adjudication Panels for future SCGC Color Guard Championships Events
2009-05 WITHDRAWN Create an annual Educational SCGC event to include training for both performing members and staff. Event to include classes in flag, sabre, rifle and movement technique for performers and design and management courses for instructors. Appropriate funds accordingly to bring in the best possible educators.
2009-06 YES Dividing Scholastic A Class Marching Percussion into at least 2 Classes. The new Class would be for less experienced marching groups that have less resources, than the Class SA national groups. The new class could be called SA Regional or anything else. The Directors would enter their group in the class they feel appropriate for them and the percussion judges would have the power to promote the group to the next class when the groupΉs achievement warrants a move. This is in line with practices of the color guard classifications and will enable percussion groups to concentrate more on training and less on competition
