Additional Information
We will continue to partner with CompetitionSuite to offer you a more streamlined approach to scoring and judges commentary. CompetitionSuite is an online program used by DCI, WGI, Bands of America, and many other competitions that puts all of your information in one place. You will be able to access your judge’s commentary within minutes of your performance, and all scoring tabulation will be handled directly through the software, eliminating any chance for human error. This information will stay online and only accessible by you, so you don’t have to worry about keeping up with a CD, SD card, or losing your score sheets. We will send out more information about how to create your profile closer to the event.
Registration Fee – In an effort to continue giving you the experience that you and your students expect, the registration fee is $150 per band. This helps us provide the quality adjudication that your used to, the great facilities we need, and the hospitality worthy of champions.
We want this show to be the pinnacle of your season. Let us know how we can help.
