DRUMLINE COMPETITION
The following guidelines are to be observed by all participating schools.
1. The competition area will be close to the entertainment area and will be a 40ft x 40ft marked off area.
2. This will be a march and performance drill. The final match up to determine 1st and 2nd place winners will be stand and perform drill.
3. Each ensemble will have a total of 10 minutes that includes entry, pit set-up, performance and exit. *Penalty assessment will be .5 points for each ½ minute over the 10-minute allotted time.
4. An announcer will introduce each performing group (see item #5 below). If you wish to have any special (brief) information read as your group enters the arena, please have this available at least 20 minutes prior to your performance (door monitors will be located at the North-West entrance and West exit to assist with this process; or, mail/FAX information in advance to Festival Director).
5. Competition judging will begin according to the following sequence: When it is apparent that your drumline has assumed a “ready” position on the court the announcer will say: “________ school, is your drumline ready?” A salute, call to attention, or other obvious acknowledgement of this question should be clearly made by the group’s captain or other designated person(s). The announcer will then say: “________ school, you may take the court in competition.” Adjudication will commence from this point and continue until the completion of the performance (exit may be included in adjudicator evaluation).
6. The use of drill and visuals are not mandatory.
7. Three judges will be used. Judges will provide written comments evaluating all categories.
8. Trophies will be awarded for 1st, and 2nd, place in each class
9. A warm-up area is reserved in a designated area to be announced. Warm-up times are for a 10-minute duration only, beginning 20 minutes before scheduled performance time.
10. All equipment must be removed from the performance area following each performance.
11. The judges decisions are final.
12. All participants must refrain from any conduct unbec oming to themselves or their school. Any exhibition of unsportsmanlike conduct before or during the competition will result in elimination from participating in the competition.
