Rules
Scoring
For the 2006 contest, we are returning to a system of 100-point captions that will be weighted into a 100-point final score.
The percentage breakdown is as follows:
| Judge | Percent |
|---|---|
| Music 1 | 25% |
| Music 2 | 25% |
| Marching and Maneuvering/General Effect | 40% |
| Percussion | 5% |
| Guard | 5% |
| Drum Major | 0% |
| Total | 100% |
Awards
The awards for the 2006 Minx Invitational are as follows:
- Division Ratings
- Rank-in-Class Trophies
- Caption Awards
- Donald R. Minx Grand Championship Trophy
Division Ratings
Each band will be given a Division Rating I, II, or III. These ratings will be tied directly to a band's final score, and will NOT be independent as they were in 2005.
Rank-in-Class Trophies
Bands will be awarded 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place trophies, when applicable, for their rank within their classification.
Caption Awards (CURRENTLY SUBJECT TO CHANGE)
There will probably be seven Caption Awards, given to the day's highest scorer in each of seven categories:
- Outstanding Drum Major
- Outstanding Guard
- Outstanding Woodwinds
- Outstanding Brass
- Outstanding Percussion
- High Music Score
- High Visual Score
One set of Caption Awards will be awarded to bands from classes A and AA, another to bands from classes AAA and AAAA.
The Caption Award rules are subject to change; watch this space for further information.
Grand Championship
The 2005 Donald R. Minx Grand Championship Trophy will be awarded to the band with the highest overall score.
