Question:
How will the new KMEA score sheets affect bands this
year? |

Answer: To the best of my knowledge, the new
sheets were designed with two purposes in mind. First, the sheets
will facilitate a more complete evaluation of each aspect of a
band’s program. Second, the new sheet provides a greater
accountability tool for the judges. By moving from two or three
sub-captions (depending upon which caption you were judging) to ten
sub-captions for all judges provides each band very specific
feedback as to where they can focus their efforts in rehearsal each
week to improve their program. From a scoring perspective, I think
things will be about the same as in past years. The biggest
challenge will more than likely affect the judges. Personally, the
most sub-captions I’ve ever had to judge on a sheet is four, so
moving to ten is a big change. Judges will need to thoroughly
understand the criteria in order to properly evaluate and score all
ten sub-captions in the time provided. |
