Good Morning,
I hope everyone is recovering well from the Chicago Games this past weekend. There was some great playing by all of our 564 solo events as well as the 38 bands that played in 54 performances. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves and had safe travels. I was able to catch up with many of you but unfortunately not everyone. Thanks to all of the bands and soloists that played. I also want to give a BIG thank you to all of our volunteer Stewards, Steve, Julie, Stuart and all of the MWPBA staff that helped over the weekend and leading up to the weekend. It is truly a team effort. I also want to Thank the Chicago Scots who give us great support to help make all of this happen. Next year the Chicago Games should be the second Friday/Saturday in June, 2026 so put that one in your calendar. We are working on making next year even better for everyone. Thanks again to everyone and I hope you all have a great remainder of your summer.
Jim Sim
