Bands from all over the district came together for the three day event where bands performed three musical selections for a panel of three adjudicators who are well known in the field of instrumental music.
Bands are rated on tone quality, precision, intonation, phrasing, music selection, interpretation, balance, blend and interpretation. A final rating is given to each band after the preformance. Groups are given a rating of good, excellent or superior.
A superior rating is the highest rating given by the judges. The Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School band was awarded straight superiors by all judges.
