Adjudication System
The Henry County Marching Invitational will be utilizing the newly established Tennessee Bandmasters Association's adjudication system, including score sheets. This system was created by a committee of TBA members. The goal of the committee was to create a system that is comparable with the best systems in use across our nation. This will better provide standardized artifact support for demonstrating student growth in our band programs. The committee felt strongly about creating an evaluation system that weighted music with sixty percent of the score and visual with forty percent of the score.
When using the six (6) person adjudication panel with two (2) Music and Visual Individual adjudicators, the two Music Performance Ensemble and the Music Effect sheets each receive 200 points with the two Visual Performance Ensemble scores being averaged for a possible 200 points and the Visual Effect caption receiving the other 200 points. The final score is achieved by multiplying the total points earned by .10. Overall scores are weighted sixty (60) percent music and forty (40) percent visual.
