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.
