Viewing results¶
When the awards ceremony wraps up, the host clicks Publish — and the competition's public results page goes live for everyone.
What's on it¶
Results are grouped by class, smallest bands first. For each band you'll see its rank within its class, its school, its overall rating, and the rating for each configured scoring caption, in the host's rubric order:
| Rating | Spoken as |
|---|---|
| I | Superior |
| II | Excellent |
| III | Good |
Caption labels can include Band, Drum Major, Percussion, Color Guard, or other sections the host configured. Not entered means the band opted out of that caption. Unavailable means no rating value was published for that caption; it is not a zero or an opt-out. A scored zero still has its actual rating. The overall rating is shown separately because it can combine sections and reflect penalties.
Once results are published, the old View the Live Schedule button is removed from this page. It remains available while results are unpublished.
Below the class results, a Special Awards list shows every award with a decided winner — Best in Class trophies, division champions, announcer's choice, fan favorite, and any named awards, each with its sponsor line.
If the competition has perpetual trophies — traveling awards with history — you'll also see this year's winner and can expand the list of past winners going back through the years.
Prelims → Finals competitions¶
If the competition ran a two-round prelims → finals format, the main results above show the finals-round placement — only the bands that advanced. Scroll down to the Prelim Standings section to see every band's preliminary rank and caption ratings, including bands that didn't advance to finals. Caption ratings in each section belong to that round.
Where are the actual scores?¶
The public page shows ratings, not numbers. Numeric scores are visible to the competing bands' directors and competition staff when they sign in. (And a band can choose to keep even more private — in that case only its rating appears.) If you're curious how your student's band scored, ask the director — they receive a full judges packet with every number and comment.
If the page says scores aren't published yet¶
"Scores Not Yet Published" just means the host hasn't clicked the button — typically it happens within minutes after awards. Check back shortly.
"Festival Event" means this competition doesn't publish scores or rankings at all — the bands receive private judge commentary instead of placements. Nothing further will appear publicly.
