Judging -- Remember this is all in fun!

Bands will be judged for music, rhythm, intonation/execution, style, stage presence, and band name. Points will be taken off for going over the 6 minutes. The top three bands will get prize ribbons.

Bribing the judges and MC should be discreet but disclosed—and is all in fun and encouraged!!!

Even if you don’t join a band, you’ll want to be at the Courtyard Stage at 6:00 pm to enjoy the performances.

THE TOP THREE BANDS WILL GET PRIZE RIBBONS – SUITABLE FOR FRAMING OR DISPLAYING

Youngsters will get “star participant” ribbons regardless placement
