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:
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
