Each jury member will be assigned responsibility for recording scores in one or more caption or sub caption areas. Any scores from the main captions that are subdivided shall be recombined and averaged to arrive at the main caption score. The scores are assigned in consideration of the appropriate Division, Category, Class, Form, Type and Composition of the band. The scores are based upon the band’s ability and performance in their own individual Form and style. First, Second and Third Division Bands will be judged to the same standard. The choice of form and style is not judged. The resulting scores from each main caption will be displayed as soon as possible after each band’s performance, as event circumstances permit. An Overall Rating Score Sheet for each performance will be compiled at the conclusion of the event.
