Today, while you are enjoying the performance of each band, keep in mind that the judges are rating each band’s performance in five different categories:

Music Performance: quality of the sound; tone quality; control intonation; balance and blend; technique: articulation, pulse, subdivi-sion, facility, attacks and releases.

Visual Performance: technique of marchers, distance, body carriage, movement, equipment, ensemble form, space, time, style, precision, accuracy.

General Effect: design of the program, quality, substance, depth of repertoire, continuity, stag-ing of program, suitability of ensemble.

Percussion: quality of orchestration, creativity and variety, simultaneous responsibility, visual musicality, unity of all elements, precision, con-sistency, clarity and individual technique.

Color Guard: range of form, body, and equip-ment, use within the overall show design, use of expressive and technical components, en-hancement of musical structure, simultaneous responsibilities, demonstration of training, achievement of body and equipment challeng-es, precision with respect to overall challenges.
