| Each year, the review scores below will be
updated to reflect the upcoming season and any changes the
membership feels necessary. The review scores will be in
effect at all MCCGA festivals and WGI Regionals beginning
with the first week, through and including the sixth week of
each season. If a unit has not participated in a festival by
the sixth week, the first MCCGA festival the unit
participates in after the sixth week is also subject to
review. In the event of a discrepancy between this Section
and Section VI. H. 3. a., Section VI. H. 3. a. will be
controlling.
If a review score is achieved at a festival, the Chief
Judge (Chair of the Review Committee) will
forward such information as deemed appropriate to the
Steering Committee within 24 hours of the end of the
festival so that those individuals may discuss and vote as
to whether that unit should be promoted. Such grounds may
include scoring that is inflated by “visiting” judges,
contest dynamics, inexperienced judges or other reasons the
Committee may deem rationally related to scoring being
inaccurate at a particular festival or for a particular
class in a particular festival. Deference is always given
the judging panel for their scoring decisions; however the
Review Committee may find reasonable grounds to allow a unit
to retain its classification.
Such vote must be returned to the Chair of the Review
Committee no later than the following Tuesday
by 6:00 PM Central Time, unless the Chair determines an
extension of time is needed. If an extension is needed, the
Chair shall request permission for that extension from the
Executive Board. A simple majority is required to overturn a
review if the unit is being reviewed for the first time that
season in that class. If a unit is being reviewed a second
time, a 2/3 vote is required to overturn a review. If a unit
is being reviewed for a third time or more, a unanimous vote
is needed to overturn the review. In the case of a tie, the
review stands and the unit is moved to the proper
classification.
The decision of the Review Committee will be disseminated
by the Chair to the unit at issue, the Review Committee, and
the Color Guard Advisory Board.

PERCUSSION
PROMOTIONS |
|
A. Should a group be competing in the wrong
class, the Percussion Coordinator will advise the ensemble director.
If a group is advised to move down a class, it will be at the
discretion of the ensemble to make the advised move. For those
groups who are clearly competing in the wrong class at a contest or
Circuit Championship event, it will be the decision of the
Percussion Administration along with discussion from the ensembles’
staff to reclassify the group at that contest or Circuit
Championship final contest. Reclassification may also be done
between contests up to and including the Circuit Championship event.
If a group is asked to produce a current performance video for
evaluation, the group has seven (7) days to deliver the media to the
Percussion Coordinator or the reclassification will automatically be
made. If the ensemble does not agree with this ruling of
reclassification, the ensemble has the right to appeal this ruling
by contacting the Percussion Coordinator within forty-eight (48)
hours. The status of this appeal will then be reviewed by the
Percussion Coordinator and Steering Committee. The final decision
will be made within ten (10) days of this appeal.
B. If your unit plans to attend a WGI
regional, please consult the WGI manual or application regarding
timing. |
