RSS-Feed-Manual webmaster@jamahome.org http://www.jamahome.org/index_files/image4281.jpg http://www.jamahome.org/ 180 http://www.jamahome.org A terse feed of announcements of the Judging Association of Mid-America en Hi All. There are several changes taking place at the JAMA website. First, there's a member's only site now available. If you're a JAMA member, you should receive an email with the details for accessing this new site. If you haven't received this email by Thursday, January 24th, please contact Bob Berry at berry@jamahome.org. Another change is that we have too many members!! We had several name collisions, so I had to change everyone's email address. Your JAMA emails address now includes your first initial. So John Doe who used to be just, doe@jamahome.org, is now jdoe@jamahome.org. If you use the web portal, your password has not changed. Also, if you were on the board previously, your last name will suffice for now (since we had published those addresses before.) At some point, I would like to eliminate those "last name only" addresses as well to cut down on spam. Wed, 23 Jan 2008 02:14:00 GMT http://www.jamahome.org/#00000020 Hi All. The server that hosts the JAMA website has had a hard disk fail. This coming weekend, I will migrate the site to another server. The Site will be down Saturday, January 26th from Noon to 4:00PM. (Most of you should be working, so the impact should be minimal.) Until then, I'm making frequent backups, but if the site should disappear, it is because of a second hard drive failure. While I'm migrating the site, I will be updating the operating system as well, so the site may have a slightly different look (especially the web email portal.) Wed, 23 Jan 2008 01:14:00 GMT http://www.jamahome.org/#00000019 JAMA has finalized the training session for percussion and color guard judges for the upcoming season and is excited to announce that on December 15 and 16, at Truman High School in Independence, Missouri, the following WGI judges will be training our JAMA judges: Dennis DeLucia (WGI Percussion judge and steering committee member), Kristin O'Melia (WGI Equipment judge and steering committee member), and Eric Kitchenman (WGI EA judge). We are thrilled to have our first combined session with both percussion and guard judges, but it is even more thrilling knowing the quality of training our judges will receive this year. Each of these clinicians brings tremendous experience and exposure to our local judges which in turn will help to make MCCGA's membership stronger. As always, we are looking for qualified judges (guard and percussion), so if you know of anyone, please ask them to contact me to get a spot reserved in this upcoming clinic. This will certainly be an exciting season of color guard and percussion and JAMA is looking forward to raising the bar for our judges while MCCGA's members do the same with their performances! Best of luck to you this winter and please travel safely, Chris Putnam Tue, 30 Oct 2007 19:14:00 GMT http://www.jamahome.org/#00000018 JAMA Fall training will be held this weekend at the Mizzou Band Hall Google Maps Link from 12:30PM until approximately 5:00PM. The clinicians this year are Dallas Neimeyer, the DCI Brass caption head, and Sal Adamo, D CI Visual and WGI judge. Unlike previous years, tickets for the evening's show are not included in the training. Go od seats are still available, and we might be able to organize a short trip to the box off ice to purchase group seats at some point during the day. If you have any questions, pleas e contact Brad Simon at simon@jamahome.org. Fri, 27 Jul 2007 16:04:00 GMT http://www.jamahome.org/#00000017 Hi All. Several of you have expressed interest in sitting together at BOA and/or WGI. I sent an email today with the details of an offer to put together a group purchase. If you didn't get the email, please contact me at: berry@jamahome.org. Sat, 30 Jun 2007 18:13:00 GMT http://www.jamahome.org/#00000016 Hi All. The schedule has been emailed. Please contact me ASAP if you didn't receive it. I've spent a lot of time trying to get everybody to all the regions we serve. If a date doesn't work for you, please try to work it out with one of your peers (but try to keep the geographical parity in mind.) Thanks for you patience. Thu, 1 Feb 2007 02:13:00 GMT http://www.jamahome.org/#00000015 Really, I've been working on the schedule. Chris and Kevin have had a lot of helpful input and we're very nearly finished. You should have the schedule for February in your email by Wednesday, January 31st. If you don't receive it by then, please let me know ASAP since we might have an email problem. Thanks, Bob. Tue, 30 Jan 2007 04:13:00 GMT http://www.jamahome.org/#00000014 Hi all. I've sent out the test emails, but I've not received very many receipts.

Thu, 19 Jan 2006 18:00:00 GMT http://www.jamahome.org/#00000007 After several rounds with the DNS registrar, I finally figured out why the DNS wasn't updating. Hopefully you are now all seeing this page and have received your "all-judges" email.

Please send any contributions to mailto:webmaster@jamahome.org Wed, 21 Sep 2005 18:00:00 GMT http://www.jamahome.org/#00000003 Because of tabulating problems at both shows, the scores from the contests were read incorrectly.
