5th Annual Mid-Atlantic
Contest of Champions
October 4, 2003
Invitation Letter | Press Box Info Form | Application
The Mid-Atlantic Contest of Champions' philosophy is to provide participating bands a venue for critical and constructive evaluation of their performances as well as to serve as an effective stepping-stone to better prepare them for regional and state events.
The bands will be divided by size of horn line into 4 classes: 1A, 2A, 3A, and 4A. The number of horns in each class will be determined by natural breaks in the registered bands. Bands will be scheduled a performance time within their class by earliest postmark. Within each class, bands will be judged in order of appearance. Each band's show will be no shorter than 6 minutes and no longer than 10 minutes and will be scheduled at 20 minute intervals with a break after each class.
