Greeneville Band Classic 2008 Mission
Statement
Our mission is to
provide a fair, positive, constructive, and enjoyable educational experience for
our participating bands. We will
continue to develop and refine our system of adjudication so that all band
members, directors, and supporters will feel that they were treated fairly and
that the festival was beneficial to them. JUDGING
The Judging System Philosophy
The system employed to rate and rank the bands will operate under the
assumption that music is the most important aspect of a marching band’s
performance. The visual component
of the program will serve to present and enhance the musical performance.
Thus, 60% of the final score will be derived from music and 40% from
visual. It should be noted that effectiveness of the musical and visual program will be given more
weight than the execution.
Therefore, 60% of the final score is derived from the effect
area while 40% is drawn from the performance
area. Scoring System and Judging Panel
The five-member panel of judges will consist of the following:
Music Performance Ensemble
one judge
20% of score
Visual Performance Ensemble
one judge
20% of score
Visual Effect
one judge
20% of score
Music Effect
two judges 40% of score “Best
of the Festival” Band A “Best of the Festival” Band will be chosen based on the tabulation of the 5 band judges only. No consideration will be given to scores from the Drum Major, Percussion or Color Guard/Majorette judges. The contribution of the auxiliaries is already considered in the band captions. The winning band will keep the “Traveling Trophy” until the 2007 GHS Band Festival. At that time, the trophy will be returned and given to the winner of the 2007 festival. Auxiliary
Judging Drum Major, Percussion and ColorGuard/Majorettes will be judged separately and awards will be presented according to their individual scores. PERFORMANCE
SCHEDULE The Festival has not decided on whether to use 15 minute or 20 minute intervals for field entrance/exit and performance time. This will be determined based on the number and size of the bands performing at the festival. Once all entry forms are received, a schedule will be built, forwarded to all participating bands and posted on the Festival website. The
order of performance for each division will be determined by the postmark on
entry forms. The earliest postmark
for each division will perform last. CLINICIAN FEEDBACK:
After bands perform on the
field before the judges and spectators, they will immediately proceed to the
Indoor Practice Field to receive feedback from band clinicians.
The Indoor Practice Field is located adjacent to the performance field. |
