A HISTORY OF THE OHIO MUSIC EDUCATION ASSOCIATION STATE MARCHING BAND FINALS Band competition has been a part of Ohio school music education since the early part of the 20th century. The forerunners of the OMEA, the Ohio High School Band Association, and the Ohio School Band and Orchestra Association were formed, at least in part, to foster competition in the state. In 1923 the Ohio Boys Band from Fostoria won the first national band contest which was held in Chicago. John W. Wainwright, director of the band, 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 the standard adjudication system allowed for three adjudicators who commented on intonation, instrumentation, tone, 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. In 1935 the committee recommended that contest cease the practice of assigning ratings and points for the bands’ performances in favor of a “ratings only” method of adjudication. By 1936 the committee recommended that the State adopt the “five rating plan.” The previous 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. This new plan eliminated the category of “very good” and 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. All State Competitions were suspended throughout during World War II, and competitions faced a challenge in the 1950’s when school administrator associations and the North Central Association recommended that no

interscholastic events or contest with the exception of athletics should be permitted. This recommendation was rescinded in 1951 in favor of leaving the determination of event and contest participation up to 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 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 defines the five rating plan in use today. Beginning in the 1950’s, 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 1970’s. 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. This was the landscape of competitive marching band until 1980. Just prior to 1980 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 sponsored by a national food chain). Nearby states were holding state championships. During the 1970’s OMEA began to take an interest in these contests. At the same time editorials began to express concerns over the potential 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 is believed by some to be one of the reasons MENC took over sponsorship of these contests in 1924. During 1979 and 1980 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. Jack Evans, former director of The Ohio State University Marching Band, served as the committee’s chair. The following goal 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 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 was 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 adjudication 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.

adjudication training, contest management, and the philosophy of competing in marching band contests in Ohio. In the 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, Brian Stevens, Dave Handshue, JD Latorre and Jay Wardeska have followed Stephan Berry as Marching Band Affairs Chairs. In February of 1982 Adjudicator Training Sessions were established as part of the OMEA State Professional Conference held in Cincinnati. These trainings were developed to help define adjudication practices and to increase the number of qualified judges available in the OMEA system. OMEA contests were required to hire judges from the OMEA-approved list as compiled by the Marching Band Affairs Chair. To be approved, prospective judges were required to attend the Training Sessions and to 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 1982 prototype training session format was later expanded with additional sessions held at Otterbein College and at The Ohio State University. Now occurring throughout the summer, these sessions have been expanded to include competing directors and event chairpersons, as well as adjudicators. With a greater emphasis placed on the “total” marching band program, revisions in Auxiliary, Field Commander, 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. 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.

At its spring meeting in 1980, the Ohio Music Education Association State Board decided to sanction marching band contest that followed the OMEA approved OMEA format. The board also voted to hold the first State Finals. The first State Marching Band Finals occurred on November 1, 1980. Stephan Berry served at the first “Marching Band Affairs Chair” on the OMEA Competitions Committee--a post which he held for 5 years. The OMEA Marching Band Guidelines were published in the Triad and were available from the Marching Band Affairs Chair. 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

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 adjudicators come to their conclusion in rating the performing bands. We hope that the following will help you to understand the process of adjudicating a band show. OMEA began the use of a criteria reference system in the 2001 season. The criteria was established over two years of research and study, and implemented for the 2001 fall season. Adjudicators receive extensive training in the summer at continuing education sessions. Ratings for each band are determined by a set of specific criteria. The criteria is listed on each adjudication sheet as well as on the OMEA web site (www.omea-ohio.org). There are nine adjudicators involved in the evaluation of the bands. Of these, two evaluate the “musical performance”, two the “general effect” of the show, two assess the “visual program”, one field adjudicator is evaluating the “percussion” performance, and two adjudicators provide evaluation of the “auxiliary” units of the band. The Overall Final Rating is determined by the addition of “ratings” from the music, general effect, visual, and percussion judges. Music adjudicators evaluate the technical accuracy of the performance. They concern themselves with how well the wind and percussion sections play together as well as evaluate the quality the repertoire of the music being performed. The score of the percussion adjudicator is averaged with the two music adjudicators to determine the overall music score. General effect adjudicators evaluate the musical and visual presentation of all performers, as well as the effectiveness the performance is in the areas of creativity and imagination. They are also concerned with how well the music and drill combine to produce a unified production. Visual Performance adjudicators assess 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 adjudicators determine how well the visual (marching/choreography) program interprets the music and the coordination of all the visual aspects of the show. Auxiliary adjudicators evaluate the musical interpretation through the use of visual design, choreography and equipment routines and equipment, movement and staging. These adjudicators also assess the performance excellence of the auxiliary performers in terms of uniformity, style, execution timing and precision. The Auxiliary ratings are not used to determine the overall final rating. All adjudicators will use digital 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 signaling the band to 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 Class A Class B Class C

901+ 501-900 301-500 300 or less

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

THE OHIO FIVE-RATING PLAN This marching band event is held under the authority of the Ohio Music Education Association, Michael Crist, President; and Stephanie K. Smith, Adjudicated Events Committee Chair. In direct charge of this event are State Finals co-chairs Jay Wardeska, OMEA Marching Band Affairs Chair, and Chris Carmean, OMEA Marching Band Adjudications Chair. The Ohio Music Education Association sanctions marching band events 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 event 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” in any of the 62 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 1012, excluding vocational students attending a separate school.

THE OHIO FIVE-RATING PLAN l (Superior)

An outstanding performance with very few technical errors and exemplifying a truly musical expression. This should be reserved for the truly outstanding performance.

ll (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..

lll (Good)

An acceptable performance, but not outstanding. Showing marked promise, but lacking in one or more essential qualities.

lV (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.
