Band Division Judging Criteria
See the Divisions Defined page for the different Band Categories here!
As this is the second year having the new business along the parade staging area. We are trying to figure out how to made things work for us and parade participants!?
Here is what will go on.. Have the bus pull into the Save-on-foods parking lot and check in at the table in front of the Teriyaki Grill. After you are given your parade number you will drive down the new back road through the roundabout to the new Les Schwab Store. Pull up to the road by Les Schwab and unload the band members. There will be a parade person to tell you where to go. Also as your parade position goes by you will be moved out into the parade.
After the band members are off the bus it will turn around and go back down the road to Goodlander Rd. turn left and go through the first light to the new light up the hill by the High School turn left on to 1st St. and go through the next three traffic lights and turn left at the forth traffic light, right after Roybal's Lube and Oil. A parade person will make sure the bus goes to the right area! This is the end of the parade area. This is the same as it has been for many years.
As this is the second year trying to make the bands staging better because or the new businesses. Things my change again next year?
See map Here!. This is the second trial year to see if this works!
It is also Most important that bands are playing their music as they go by the 1st announcer stand, this is where the judges are! The announcer stand is right before they make the 2nd turn in front of Wells Fargo Bank! (Hint: After the bands make the 1st turn they should start playing there best music!!)
