ICYMI: April Fool's Day, FloMarch Madness, PIW Reaches Higher

The WGI World Championships are on the front doorstep, and it's symbolic of the craziness hitting FloMarching over the next three weeks to start off April with a double whammy of April Fools' Day and Easter Sunday. 

Don't forget to vote in the championship round of FloMarch Madness, ending this Wednesday, April 2.

Here's the lowdown from this past weekend in the marching arts world.

April Fools'-Ed Me Once... You Don't Get Fooled Again

Couchmen Drum and Bugle Corps led the charge in Sunday's festivities with some pretty well-planned-out jokes, announcements, and... dating apps? Other corps across the country bit onto the April Fools' Day apple and gave their shot at bamboozling fans all day long.

PIW Hits 90 And Higher

Five Independent World percussion groups have broken one of the biggest landmarks of their season: earning 90 points or higher. Pulse led the charge with a 90.2 all the way back in February. Rhythm X followed almost two weeks after with a score of 90.35 in Indianapolis but currently leads with the highest score of the season in PIW.
