The Mid-Atlantic Contest of Champions' philosophy is to provide
participating bands a venue for critical and constructive evaluation
of their performances as well as to serve as an effective
stepping-stone to better prepare them for regional and state events.
The format
will be a finals competition only. The bands will be divided by size
of horn line into 4 classes; A, 2A, 3A and 4A. The number of
horns in each class will be determined by natural breaks in the
registered bands. Bands will be
scheduled a performance time within their class by earliest
postmark. Within each class, bands will be judged in order of
appearance. Each band’s should will be no
shorter than 6 minutes and no longer than 10 minutes,
and will be scheduled at twenty minute intervals with a break after
each class. |
