Roster of Champions
JUDGING THE COMPETITION The maximum possible score for a unit is a perfect 100 points. However, it is extremely unlikely that any unit would ever achieve the perforect score since this would indicate the most difficult show performed wihtout an error or flaw. General Effect considerations include repertoire (show design), performance (skill, accuracy, & stage presence), and showmanship (emotion, dramatic effect, & entertainment). Individual analysis judging puts emphasis on equipment and body (first judge) and form & body (second judge). Ensemble analysis judging assesses overall difficulty of the program in terms of design, equipment, and movement. Timing: Each unit can perform from 5 ½ to 7 ½ minutes depending on the class. Classes are: "A" (5 ½ ), Open (6 ½), and World (7 ½ ). All groups must have at least 4 mintues of equipment time. During this time, each unit is judged from four points of view: General Effect (GE), Individual Analysis (IA), Ensemble Analysis (EA), and Timing and Penalties. The GE and EA captions are judged for the full show or 7 ½ minutes while the individual analysis is evaluated for the first four minutes only. Timing and penalties are judged from the competition floor. The judge evaluates the unit with regard to rules compliance. Some of the common infractions the judge looks for includes stepping over boundaries, being over or under the time limits, and using unauthorized equipment. Any rules violations are noted and totaled. At the conclusion of the performance, the scores from each of the two GE judges, the two IA judges, and the EA judge are added together to determine the gross score. Penalties, if any, are subtracted to arrive at the final score.

WHAT IS THE TOURNAMENT OF BANDS? The Tournament of Bands (TOB) is the single largest, full-service high school band association in the US. It is a nationally recognized organization formed to create, support, and serve the educational development of young people in all forms of musicianship, including marching, concert and stage bands, as well as indoor color guard, percussion, and majorette competition. It is our belief competition is a broadening experience and is a positive step toward encouraging those who chose to become winners by dedicating themselves to a purpose. The competitions allow the general public to enjoy the abilities of these young people. Starting in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania, the TOB has now grown to a membership representative of ten states bounded by New York to the north, North Carolina to the south, and Ohio to the west. The current membership is 397 bands. This year’s schedule offered over 140 field contests, 100 indoor contests, and several comprehensive music festivals. To support the TOB, the parent organization, the National Judges’ Association (NJA), maintains a roster of nearly 250 judges to handle the 1700 field and 700 indoor assignments. Band directors selected from each chapter (13 total chapters) meet to review and decide on the rules and operating standards of the TOB. Through constant interaction, supportive dialogue, clinics, and post-contest critiques, the TOB continuously strives to offer the best environment for its members to aid their students’ education. "Thus, we walk, learn, and grow together to support and encourage each other as we strive to become the best that we can be." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
