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:
“One of the extraordinary things about human events is that the unthinkable becomes thinkable.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)
“By the power elite, we refer to those political, economic, and military circles which as an intricate set of overlapping cliques share decisions having at least national consequences. In so far as national events are decided, the power elite are those who decide them.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
“I have no time to read newspapers. If you chance to live and move and have your being in that thin stratum in which the events which make the news transpire—thinner than the paper on which it is printed—then these things will fill the world for you; but if you soar above or dive below that plane, you cannot remember nor be reminded of them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
