The gold (evening) show will feature bands split into classifications based on the school's size.  However, the performance order will be based on a random draw and adjudicators will not be given any indication about what class size division each band is placed in.  The top three returning bands (based on scoring) from the 2023 Golden Regiment Invitational marching festival will automatically be granted the final three evening performance time slots.  The random draw will be recorded and published through the Golden Regiment Invitational YouTube channel in the weeks prior to the  competition.  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), 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.
