You may enter the stadium with a cadence, but must use a drum tap to exit.

Timing begins with the first note after your drum major salute and ends when your drum major salutes at the end or when the first instrumentalist steps off the contest field at the end of your performance.

These will be added together to arrive at a final score. Separate judges will judge band fronts and drum lines. Bands scoring 100 points down to 85 points will be rated superior. Bands scoring below 85 points down to 70 will be rated excellent.
