Festival Format |
For our preliminary portion of the event, we will offer you and your program a chance to have your band adjudicated using the MHSAA/MBA marching festival sheets and format. It is our goal that you will receive positive and constructive feedback from a terrific panel of judges a full two weeks before the MHSAA/MBA marching regional event.
Bands will be scheduled from smallest to largest based on their MHSAA/MBA classification (1A-6A). Out-of-state bands will be assigned using the same standard and converted to the Mississippi classification if there is a discrepancy.

Competition Format |
For our second portion of the event, we will offer you and your program a chance to compete in a class-based formatted event determined by the number of wind players in your marching band. There will be class awards and overall awards presented at the conclusion of the evening. Bands will be scheduled by classification based upon registration postmark and fees paid. The registrations with earlier postmarks will perform later in their classification. If two or more bands within the same class have the same postmark performance order will be done by random draw. The contest host reserves the right to "even out" the classes based on the number of entries.
