The 2009 season for the Rocky Mountain Percussion Association will again utilize digital recording on to CD's, replacing the old analog cassette tape format. Judge commentary will be distributed as MP3 computer files playable on most current Compact Disc playback systems.

Each competing unit will receive one CD that will contain all 3 (and 6 at Championships) judges commentary, easily distributable through conventional computer file transfer methods. During the competition, commentary CD's will be made available after each grouping of four competitive units, specifically following the 4th, 8th, 12th performance and etc. Instructors are encouraged to bring CD playback units or laptop computers w/CD playback (or burners and spare blank discs if you want to distribute commentary to your entire staff , and maybe a small cassette player, just in case) to access your unit's comments. In addition, commentary can be provided on USB flash drives, but each requesting unit must provide their own labeled drive prior to the start of each show.
