Redskin Classic
Pocahontas, Arkansas

October 18, 2014

No more than 22 bands will be accepted for the Redskin Classic. No more than 30 bands will be accepted for the Arkansas Open. In the event 9 or less bands enter, the contest may cancel.

The entry fee is $175 for the Redskin Classic and $200 for the Arkansas Open. Bands are not officially entered until their entry fee is received.

Classification is determined by the total number of musicians performing - this INCLUDES percussion.

Bands may elect to enter a larger classification if they choose, but not a lower one.

Performance order is determined within classifications by placement of the previous year's competition. Bands who did not compete the previous year will be scheduled ahead of bands that competed, by reverse order of entry.

The classes break down as follows:

Class A: 1-25 musicians
Class AA: 26-50 musicians
Class AAA: 50-74 musicians
Class AAAA: 75-105 musicians
Class AAAAA: 106 or more musicians

Judging Panel

The contest is run on a caption-judged format. There are six band judges. Each judge will be responsible for a portion of the band's total score - no scores will be dropped, and no averages are taken.

There are two judges each in the captions of MUSIC, MARCHING, and OVERALL EFFECT. The Music judges will each be responsible for 20% of the band's score. Music, therefore, will consitute 40% of the band's score.

Each of the Marching and Effect judges will be responsible for 15% of the band's total score. EFFECT is defined as the relationship between the musical and visual presentations. While they may contribute to the band's effect, audience reaction and special effects are not being judged.

There is one judge each for PERCUSSION, COLORGUARD and DRUM MAJOR performance. These judges determine placement and awards within their captions - they do not affect the band's score.

A numerical score determines the band's rating and ranking, as well as those of the auxiliary units. Ratings are assigned as follows:

I (Superior) 80.0-100.0
II (Excellent) 60.0 - 79.9
III (Average) 40.0 - 59.9
IV (Below Avg) 0.0 - 39.9
