SCORING

Festival format using ratings only.  The judges will be asked to give all units a numerical score that will appear on the recap for the directors and staff.  This will give you feedback as to how your groups compare to the other ensembles.  (Only the ratings, i.e. I, II, etc., will be announced at the awards ceremony.)  The three (3) band judges numeral score (0-100) will be averaged for the band's final rating.  The band's rating will be determined from the following point criteria:

Point System for Ratings:  
 
85 - 100 points =   I  Superior Performance 
65 - 84 points    = II  Excellent Performance 
00 - 54 points   = III  Good Performance

 

Score Sheet Breakdown:

Music              =       40 (pt)
Execution         =       40 (pt)
General Effects =      20 (pt)

                        100 points maximum

 

 

The Fine Print

Bands performance order will be sequenced the number of playing members, smallest to largest, in 15 minute increments.  Performance times = 6 minutes minimum and 10 minute maximum.  Bands will be judged on their performance and not what they choose to perform.  Bands may choose to move up in classification, but may not move to a lower one.  Electronics are acceptable, however you may want to bring your own power source.  (A power source may be available if you let us know a couple of weeks before the festival.)  There will be no boundaries or penalties.
