Awards
Purple Show
The purple show will feature bands assigned into competitive classes based on the school combined with the band size. Bands will perform in order groupings based on their size classifications. Class A (smallest band size) will perform first. The Class D bands (largest size) will perform last. Class awards will be provided for the top four bands in each classification ensuring that every group will receive a placement trophy. Additionally trophies for outstanding soloist(s), drum major(s), visual performance, musical performance, and general effect (regardless of groupings) will be presented giving each school the opportunity to compete across classifications for the top honors.
Gold Show
The performance order for the gold show will be based on a pre-draw in early September. For awards only, the gold show will be divided into two classifications. Adjudicators will not be given any indication what classification each band is performing in. The top three returning bands (based on scoring) from the 2022 Golden Regiment Invitational marching festival will automatically be granted the final three evening performance time slots. Awards will be provided for the top four bands in each classification with a maximum of four bands in each group. Additionally, trophies for outstanding soloist(s), drum major(s), visual performance, musical performance, and general effect (regardless of groupings) will be presented. And to round out the cross classification competition, Grand Prize awards will be presented for the top three placements overall.
