Music For All Affiliate Marching Band Regional

The Power Band Classic and Music for All formed a partnership in 2018 with the Power Band Classic. It was the first Music for All affiliate marching contest. The purpose of partnership was for both organizations to be able to enrich the musical experience of students through the marching arts.

Arrival for Participants

When you arrive on campus all buses, trucks, and other school vehicles need to check in at the Middle School. This is the first entrance on the right/south of the stoplight at Wolf Street and Adam Brown Road. It is a lengthy circle drive, so all of your school vehicles should fit easily. While here, parent and student volunteers will sign you in, and give every student and staff member a wristband. Any parent spectators you have with you will need to go straight to the spectator parking area (follow the signs).

Monitors and Warm-Up Areas

There will be monitors provided for the event. It will be the responsibility of the director and staff of each group to enter and exit the Warm-Up Area at their appropriate times. Beginning the Warm-Up process too soon or arriving late to the gate could result in disqualification from the event. A student guide will come to your position in the parking areas at the appropriate time to take you to your warm-up area. There are two warm-up areas, labeled A and C. Warm-up A is located on the Baseball Field . Warm-up C is located on the Softball Field. We ask you to please warm-up facing away from the stadium, so your sound does not carry into someone else’s performance.

Stadium Entrance

Pit percussion will enter at the large gate on the Visitor’s Side of the stadium. There will be railing set up to prevent spectators from interfering with travel. All pit groups will enter the gate quietly, under the direction of the guide, and make their way to the holding area on the east end of the Football Field. The previous band will more than likely still be performing at this time. Once the previous band’s show is over and the pit has left the field (through the same gate) then you may proceed to the performance area. Once your performance ends, all pit personnel will leave the field going through the gated area back out into the parking lot.

All other non-pit band members will enter through the same gate. The band will then proceed, under the direction of the guide, to the northeast corner of the field. When advised, the band will enter the field area to begin setting up for performance. When the show has ended all non-pit members must leave the field area through the same gate.

Pep Wear

Pep Wear will be coming the contest to provide t-shirts and merchandise. As they provide a link for their products, we will list those as available.

Water Stations

Due to Covid regulations, we will not be providing water stations at the contest. Directors will want to make sure to provide water for their students throughout the day as temps can be warm, even this time of year.

Scoring System

The Bands of America scoring system/sheets will be used for this event. It is the position of Bands of America that music is the more important aspect of the performance, with the marching and the presentation and the visual enhancement of the program. Similarly, more emphasis has been placed on the effectiveness to the audience and the general effect judges, than on fine-line perfection of the performance judges-which may be an aspect to work on for even better effectiveness. Consequently, the weight of the numbers in the Bands of America scoring system places 60% of the value on music and 40% on visual, and at the same time, 60% of the score within the area of general effect and 40% within the performance area. The point allotment for the competition is as follows:

20 points Music Performance

20 points Visual Performance

20 points General Effect Visual

40 points General Effect Music

For a copy of this system, visit the BOA web page at www.musicforall.org. In the event of a tie, the high placement will be awarded to the band with the higher score in the General Effect caption. This will only be used to determine Class Champions and finals competition.

Awards

Competition Suite will be used for comments and scoring. There will be a virtual awards ceremony at the end of the day of competition. There will not be any school representatives at the ceremony.
