Our Goal: Provide constructive evaluation and feedback from an accomplished panel of adjudicators that will benefit the remainder of each band’s marching season, be it regional championships or VBODA Assessment. We ensure this by hiring quality judges that can offer constructive critique and praise for ANY TYPE of band and by supplying bands with digital files of judge recordings immediately following their performance so directors may share this information with staff and students.

- Classification – The bands will be divided into classes by size according to the number of playing members. These classes will be determined by natural breaks in the registered bands. Bands will be scheduled within their classes by earliest postmark or timestamp.
