VIDEO TAPES & CASSETTE TAPES

Each director will receive taped comments, and a free video tape of his band's performance to help in future contest preparation.

RULES

You will have fifteen minutes to enter the field, perform a short warm-up, perform your contest show and exit the field. Your contest routine must be a minimum of six minutes and a maximum of ten minutes.

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.

ADJUDICATION

Three judges will judge the band's performance. 40 points will be allotted music, 35 points will be allotted marching, and 25 points will be allotted general effect. 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.
