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 show 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. |
