MEPA is proud to release this year’s apparel designs. Last year there was one design in multiple colors. This years, there are three designs in even more colors. Along with T-shirts and hoodies like last year, we’re also adding sweat pants. Click on the links below to see the designs. Each shirt has a front and back and the sweats have the MEPA logo printed on the left leg. Prices are as follows:

T-shirts: $14
Hoodies: $26
Sweats: $22

Other circuits hire people to sell their merchandise allowing money to leave the circuit. MEPA sells all merchandise by volunteers meaning that 100% of the profits made from the sales of merchandise are used to benefit our members. You will not only look good, you’re supporting your circuit and by supporting your circuit, you’re keeping costs down for your unit. Merchandise will be on sale at selected shows and at circuit championships.

Color Guard Clinic to Take Place at Miamisburg

MEPA — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 21:56:27 +0000

MEPA and MEJA are proud to announce that a clinic with Sal Salas will take place on Saturday, January 30th starting at 11:00 in the library at Miamisburg High School in conjunction with the first competition of the season. Sal will present a clinic titled, “This, That, and the Other…..The Art of Pageantry.” The clinic will be a study of effective design and coordination, as well as “everything you ever wanted to know about color guard but were afraid to ask”.

Sal’s career in the Pageantry Arts has spanned over 45 years, and has not only been diverse, but extremely successful in all areas. Serving as everything from instructor to designer to director to judge, Sal’s commitment to youth and excellence has seen no bounds. Highlights of his pageantry resume include his recent position as the Executive Director of the Madison Scouts, his involvement as a judge for Winter Guard International since 2004 (as well as various circuits throughout Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida and Illinois), marching band judge, and his role as the founder and director of the five time Winter Guard International Gold Medalist ‘The State Street Review’. Sal’s honors include his being named the 2005 Drum Corps International Director of the Year, being a recipient of the prestigious WGI Hall of Fame Award in 1993 and in 2009 inducted into the WGASC Hall of Fame. Sal most recently taught the Bronze Medalist Juxtaposition Winter Guard in 2009. In addition, he is a consultant/designer for the Juxtaposition Winter Guard of Columbus, OH and the Black Watch, of Laurel, NJ> Sal is also the program coordinator for the 2010 Glassmen Drum and Bugle Corps from Toledo, OH.
