WELCOME
Welcome
t o OME A S t ate M a rc h i n g B a n d F i n a l s
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome all performers, parents, school administrators,
friends and music boosters to the 2011 Ohio Music Education Association State Marching Band
Finals. During the five days of performances you will see and hear some of the finest high school
marching bands in the state of Ohio. You are about to see the true meaning of creativity, imagination,
dedication and commitment.
The OMEA State Marching Band Finals have evolved in a positive, educational manner due to the
commitment and leadership provided by our past Marching Band Affairs Chairs. They are: Stephan
Berry, Richard Rhodes, Larry Kelley, William Guegold, William Wittman, Randall Clark, Michael Gallehue, Patricia Meeks, John Purdy, Brian Stevens, and Dave Handshue. We owe these educators a debt of
gratitude for their service and leadership to OMEA. We are proud to take on the responsibilities of the
Marching Band Affairs and Adjudications Chairs to further nurture the marching band activity on the state
of Ohio.
A sincere thank you goes out to the many OMEA officials, volunteer groups, booster groups and the
staff at Dublin Jerome Stadium and Dayton Welcome Stadium who have made these State Finals run
smoothly. We would also like to acknowledge those of you who are proud parents of band members for
your continuing support of Music Education! While these State Marching Band Finals might be the most
visible part of your communities band program, please continue to support your musicians at concerts, pep
bands, winter drumlines, winter guards and the host of other musical activities these students participate
in year-round.
You are about to be amazed by the high level of performances today. Acknowledge those accomplishments—every student is a winner simply by participating. Let the music begin!

HISTORY
A History
of the O ME A S t a t e Ma rch i n g B a n d F i n a l s
Band competition has been a part of the school music
scene in Ohio since the early part of this century. The
forerunners of the OMEA, the Ohio High School Band
Association, and the Ohio School Band and Orchestra
Association were all formed, at least in part, to foster competition in the state. Following the success of the Fostoria,
Ohio Boys Band in winning the first national band contest
in 1923 held in Chicago, the Fostoria director, John W.
Wainwright, formed the Ohio High School Band Association. Ohio’s first contest was held in 1924 in Fostoria
with eight bands in attendance. Prize money was supplied
by the music industry including Barnhouse Publishers and
Conn Instrument Company. There were four adjudicators
in these early contests. By 1928 three adjudicators commented on the groups’ intonation, instrumentation, tone
and harmonic balance, tone quality, precision and interpretation, and a fourth judged the band in sight-reading. In
1932 the newly formed Ohio Music Education Association stated among its goals “the promotion of state-wide
contests in vocal and instrumental music.” Furthermore,
when OMEA affiliated with MENC (Music Educators
National Conference) in 1934 the two groups’ statement
concerning contests mentioned that the purpose of these
contests is to promote education through music.
The Contest Committee of OMEA was formed in
1934 for the purpose of overseeing contest operations in
Ohio. The committee recommended in 1935 that these
contests deviate from the practice of assigning ratings and
points for the bands’ performances and begin to use a “ratings only” method of adjudication. In 1936 the committee recommended that the State adopt a “five rating plan.”
The former six rating plan included the levels “superior,
excellent, very good, good, fair, and poor.” Each of these
levels was assigned points with a superior worth 10, excellent 7, very good 4, good 2, fair 1, and poor 0. The new
system deleted the “very good” category, as well as doing
away with the point system. The sight reading rating could
lower the overall rating if it was more than one rating lower
than the final rating of the three combined judges.
Competitions were suspended in the state during World War II and ran into rough times in the 1950s
when school administrator associations and the North
Central Association recommended that other than ath-
letic contests, inter-scholastic events should be curtailed.
This recommendation was rescinded in 1951, leaving such
determination up to the individual school systems.
In 1951 Ohio began to use the district/state levels of
adjudication still in use today. Bands that received a “I” or
“superior” rating in the district contest then advanced into
the state level several weeks later in the spring. The five
rating plan was refined so that there was a well-defined
standard assigned to each rating. This statement of standards still accompanies the five rating plan today.
Beginning in the 1950s and up until 1980, there were
as many as ten different marching band competitions held
at various schools each fall throughout the state. Several of
the most noted were held at Fairborn, Roger Bacon, Marietta, West Jefferson, Zanesville, Wadsworth and Marlington High Schools. The Marching Bands of America
contest movement was just beginning to be a force in the
state by the late 1970s. Several Ohio bands that were fairly
close to neighboring states participated in contests in such
circuits as the Pennsylvania Federation of Contest Judges
and the Mid-West Judges’ Circuit. Each of these contests used similar, yet distinctive rules and regulations and
announced rankings of the groups participating. Classifications of groups were generally determined by band size
and prizes were awarded to outstanding auxiliary units and
field commanders/drum majors.
In this pre-1980 time period there became a growing
increase in the influence and sponsorships of these contests by commercial interests such as music companies and
corporations (MBA Grand Nationals was sponsored by
a national food chain). Nearby states were holding state
championships. OMEA began to take an interest in these
contests in the mid 1970s and editorials began to mention
the problem of director and student burnout associated
with contest involvement. There was concern in the ranks
of OMEA that commercial interests would soon take control of marching band competitions in Ohio. Some feel
that this pushed OMEA into the marching band competition area as much as anything. It is interesting to note that
similar concerns were expressed by MENC in the 1920’s
when the Conn Company sponsored the National Band
Contests. This most likely was one of the reasons MENC
took over sponsorship of these contests in 1924.

dication forms and scoring systems. The intent is to
provide competition in which recognition is given for
the quality of performance regardless of the type of
band or style of marching.
After several revisions and much discussion, the Ohio
Music Education Association state board decided at its
spring meeting in 1980 to sanction marching band contests that followed the OMEA designated format and gave
permission to hold the first State Finals on November 1,
1980. The OMEA Marching Band Guidelines were published in the Triad and were available from Steve Berry.
Mr. Berry served for five years as the first “Marching Band
Affairs Chair” on the OMEA Competitions Committee.
Bands were eligible to participate in the State Finals if
they received a “I” or “superior” rating at one of the sixteen
OMEA-sanctioned contests using the OMEA rules and
regulations. Thirty-six bands qualified the first year. The
number of qualifying contests grew to thirty in 1981 with
sixty-four attending the State Finals.
In subsequent years the complexity of the guidelines grew from a two-page outline into a forty five page
handbook of rules and regulations that includes a comprehensive section dealing with caption area adjudication training, contest management, and the philosophy
of competing in marching band contests in Ohio. In the
The following goals statements came from this committee:
1. To provide at the state level, for those interested in
marching band competitions, a competitive event controlled by OMEA. Rules and regulations for this event
would follow as closely as possible the rules and regulations for other OMEA Competitive Festivals.
2. To encourage the co-existence of the many independent (invitational, etc.) marching band contests and
festivals now operating in Ohio by making it possible
for these contests to serve as qualifying contests for
the OMEA State Competition. Some flexibility in the
operation of qualifying contests is included to meet
local traditions and conditions.
3. To bring about, in Marching Band Competitions in the
State of Ohio, standardization of rules, procedures,
and adjudication through the required guidelines for
qualifying contests including the use of OMEA adju-

HISTORY
In 1979–80 the OMEA formed an ad hoc committee to study various proposals for the formation of a state
marching band finals and sanctioned contests. Members
of this committee included Steve Berry, Dick Cool, Gary
Tirey, Jim Swearingen, Tim Swinehart, Max Treier, and
was chaired by Jack Evans—former director of The Ohio
State University Marching Band.
HISTORY
General Effect, and Music adjudications were implemented
in 1996, rewarding those bands showing a trend towards a
“holistic” musical and visual program. These changes place
more of a premium on the total visual enhancement of the
marching band. Today, the “over-all” band rating will be
announced, to emphasize the importance of the total band’s
performance, rather than each separate entity.
In 2004, a critique system was added to the local event
process to allow directors to speak with the adjudicators following their performance to gain a better understanding how
to improve their bands, and in 2006, visual captions were
updated from Marching and Maneuvering Execution and
General Effect to Visual Performance and Visual Effect to
better reflect current practices in marching band visual design.
The Ohio Music Education Association format of
adjudicated marching band events has become a solid
foundation for 60–65 local adjudicated events each year.
The OMEA State Marching Band Finals continues to
improve as bands reach higher levels of achievement and
directors gain greater knowledge and experience in this
area. An ongoing effort is always taking place to enhance
an already strong program brought about by people with a
vision to improve music education.

development of this handbook, several “rules congresses”
were attended by representatives from each of the OMEA
districts in the state. Richard Rhodes, Larry Kelley, William Guegold, William Wittman, Randall Clark, Michael
Gallehue, Patricia Meeks, John Purdy, David Handshue,
and Brian Stevens have followed Steve Berry as Marching
Band Affairs Chairs.
In February of 1982 at the OMEA State Professional
Conference held in Cincinnati, there began a series of “adjudicator training sessions” to help clarify judging practices
and to increase the number of qualified judges available to
judge the OMEA system. OMEA contests were required
to hire judges from the OMEA-approved list as compiled
by the Marching Band Affairs Chair. To become listed in
the approved list, prospective judges were required to attend
these seminars and make formal application to the Marching Band Affairs Chair. Adjudication background, personal
contest ratings, contest observation, and letters of reference
were part of the application and certification process. The
prototype 1982 training session format was later expanded
and additional sessions were held at Otterbein College and
at The Ohio State University. The current scope of these
sessions has been expanded to include competing directors
and contest chairpersons, as well as adjudicators.
With a greater emphasis placed on the “total” marching band program, revisions in Auxiliary, Field Commander,

WHAT ARE THE JUDGES LOOKING FOR?
What Are the Judges Looking For?
If this is your first marching band adjudicated event, or if you are new to the world of marching bands, you may be
wondering how the judges come to their conclusion in rating the performing bands! Perhaps the following will help
you to understand the process of judging a band show.
OMEA began the use of a criteria reference system in the 2001 season. This criteria was established over two years of
research and study, and implemented for the fall 2001 season. Judges were extensively trained in the summer at continuing education sessions. In order to progress from one rating to the next rating, each band must meet a certain set of
criteria. This is listed on each judging sheet as well as on the OMEA web site at www.omea-ohio.org.
There are nine judges involved in the evaluation of the bands. Of these, two evaluate the “musical performance”, two
the “general effect” of the show, two judge the “visual program”, one field judge is evaluating the “percussion” section,
and two judges concentrate on all auxiliary units of the band. The Overall Final Rating will be determined by the addition of “ratings” from the music, general effect, visual, and percussion judges.
Music judges: evaluate the technical accuracy of the performance. They will concern themselves with how well the
wind and percussion sections play together and the repertoire of the music being performed. The score of the percussion judge will be averaged with the two music judges to determine the overall music score.
General effect judges: evaluate the musical and visual presentation of all performers, how effective their performance is in
the area of creativity and imagination, and how well the music and marching drill coordinate for a unified production.
Visual Performance: will watch the marching performance, evaluate the accuracy of marching definition, and evaluate
the construction complexity of the patterns and designs with respect to the number of individuals utilized.
Visual Effect: will determine how well the drill (marching) program interprets the music as well as the coordination of
all the visual aspects of the show.
All judges will use SD recorders plus official OMEA marching band adjudication rating sheets. Each band is scheduled in a fifteen minute time block, starting with an announcement from the announcer that the band may begin it’s
pre-placement and/or warm up. A second announcement that the band may begin their performance will follow.
“Show time” starts with the first step or the first note following the second announcement. The show must be a minimum of seven minutes and a maximum of eleven minutes.
Bands are entered into classifications based on the school enrollment grades 10-12, minus any vocational students who
attend school “off campus”. Bands may enter a classification higher but not lower than their school enrollment will allow.
Class AA 901+
Class A
501–900

All adjudicators must be selected from the Ohio Music Education Association (OMEA) approved listing.

This marching band event is held under the authority of the Ohio Music Education Association, Jim Dowdy, President, and Brian Stevens, Adjudicated Events Chair. In direct charge of this event are JD Latorre, State Finals Chair
and OMEA Marching Band Affairs Chair, and Michael Maynard, State Finals Co-Chair and OMEA Marching
Band Adjudications Chair.
The Ohio Music Education Association sanctions marching band festivals in the State of Ohio in hopes of providing a
broad-based opportunity for marching units of the state’s schools to participate in an educational setting. It is hoped
that the adjudicated festival situation would be one in which viable comments and suggestions are offered in a positive,
constructive manner to each group and a fair evaluation of the group’s performance is reflected within the Ohio Five
Rating Plan as outlined below. It is intended that this system provide the fairest, most consistent experience possible
for the marching bands in the State of Ohio.
Ohio bands receiving a final rating of “I” (Superior) in any of the 63 OMEA-sanctioned marching band adjudicated
events held this fall are eligible to participate in today’s State Marching Band Finals.
These bands are not competing against one another, but rather against a standard, as determined by the Ohio Five
Rating Plan. Each band brings to these State Finals it’s own musical and marching “style” identity, therefore the ranking of these bands would be inappropriate for this educational arena. Direct comparisons of this musical and visual art
form are discouraged, and for these reasons, the Ohio Music Education Association prefers to “rate” the bands according to a standard, rather than ranking them.
The bands here today are grouped according to classes as determined by their school enrollment in grades 10–12,
excluding vocational students attending a separate school.
The Ohio Five Rating Plan
I
(Superior)
An outstanding performance with very few technical errors and exemplifying a truly musical
expression. This should be reserved for the truly outstanding performance.
II
(Excellent)
An unusual performance in many respects, but not worthy of the highest rating due to minor
defects in performance, ineffective interpretation, or improper instrumentation.
III
(Good)
An acceptable performance, but not outstanding. Showing marked promise, but lacking in one or
more essential qualities.
IV
(Fair)
A poor performance showing many technical errors, poor musical conception, lack of interpretation, incomplete instrumentation, or lacking in any of the other essential qualities.
V
(Poor)
A very poor performance indicating deficiencies in most of the essential factors and indicating
that much careful attention should be given to fundamentals of good performance. This rating
should be used sparingly and only when it is possible to cite major faults.
