The basic rules for the 2008 ASBDA Adjudication Festival are as follows:
1. Register and pay the fee
2. Select one work for band from the 2008 ASBDA Required List
3. Pick two other pieces that meet the needs of your band.
4. You will sight-read at one grade level below your piece from the ASBDA list.
5. You must provide two sets of scores for the adjudicators
Your band will be scheduled for a performance of your three concert selections. The score from this performance will make up 80% of your final score. After your performance your band will be given a clinic by one of the adjudicators. Your band will also be scheduled for the sight-reading room where they will sight-read one band composition. This will account for the other 20% of your total score.
Before leaving the festival you will receive:
1. Score sheets with points awarded in the areas of stage presentation, tone quality, intonation, technical ability, style, musical effect, and interpretation, as well as written comments of your band's performance from the two adjudicators
2. Taped comments of your band's performance
3. A plaque with your overall rating. The rating system is based upon national standards. They are: Superior, Outstanding, Excellent, and Commendable.
Please feel free to contact the festival chair if you have any further questions regarding this year’s festival.
