Events
Each event is scheduled by a bidding process which begins several months before the start of the competitive season. Considerations for awarding an event include available personnel, host experience and facilities. All events are operated financially independent of the circuit, and each event host is responsible for accommodating the visiting bands, spectators and adjudicator travel needs. Each host is required to pay a fee to the circuit if they are awarded an event. The host for the annual Marching Band Championships is chosen based on the largest available facility and rotates among several sites.
The circuit's responsibilities at sanctioned events are to manage the flow of bands in competition, be available for any administrative needs, and to provide adjudication and tabulation.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“It is the true office of history to represent the events themselves, together with the counsels, and to leave the observations and conclusions thereupon to the liberty and faculty of every man’s judgement.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“Individuality is founded in feeling; and the recesses of feeling, the darker, blinder strata of character, are the only places in the world in which we catch real fact in the making, and directly perceive how events happen, and how work is actually done.”
—William James (1842–1910)
