Competition Scoring
Competition scoring in the DCJ circuit works much like scoring in almost every other Drum Corps association around the globe. Scores are given in the categories of Effect, Music, and Visual.
Effect scores are broken down in several ways. Musical Effect and Visual Effect are scored separately, each with a repertoire and show score, added together to get a total Musical Effect and Visual Effect score. The sum of these two total scores is the corps' overal Effect Score.
Music scores are broken up between Brass and Percussion. The total scores in each of these two categories are added together for a corps' overall Music score.
Visual scores are broken up between a colorguard score and a performance score. The totals in these two categories are likewise added together for a corps' overall visual score.
Effect, Music, and Visual scores are added together, penalties are then applied before noting a corps' final score.

Famous quotes containing the word competition:
“Knowledge in the form of an informational commodity indispensable to productive power is already, and will continue to be, a major—perhaps the major—stake in the worldwide competition for power. It is conceivable that the nation-states will one day fight for control of information, just as they battled in the past for control over territory, and afterwards for control over access to and exploitation of raw materials and cheap labor.”
—Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)
