Welcome to General Effect Media! We offer content made by Performing Arts Die-Hards for Performing Arts Die-Hards. GEM was founded to give you access to all of the information that you could ever dream of about the performing arts, whether it’s scores, recaps, stats, analysis, or rankings put together by our hand-selected team of experts. We’re also here to offer you on-the-spot analysis of performances, deep-dive articles, editorials, and breaking news as it happens.

For years, the Performing Arts, whether it’s DCI, BOA, WGI, State Band Circuits, or any other organization that showcases and celebrates the great shows and great performers we all know and love, has lacked a central gathering space for performers, staff, and fans to stay informed, entertained, and engaged. You deserve nonstop coverage from the first corps at DCI Tour Premiere in June until retreat at WGI Finals in April, and we’re here every step of the way.
