marching percussion festival guidelines & registration you are participating in the 2012 pasic...

Greetings!

If you are participating in the 2012 PASIC marching percussion festival there are some items, changes that I would like to bring to your attention as you make your way through the packets of each category of the competition:

• There is a UIL competition and Regional BOA competition taking place the weekend of PASIC 2012 and as a result of the scheduling of those events, we have moved the Drumline Competition to Thursday, November 1. Both the Individuals Com-petition and Drumline Competition will take place on the same day at PASIC.

• In trying to accommodate both the Drumline Competition and Individuals Competition on Thursday of PASIC, we had to reduce the number of competitors for the Drumline Competition and begin the contest earlier in the day. Please see new application submission rules.

• We have had much success with the Interactive Format in Indianapolis, but because of the change in the Drumline Competi-tion scheduling for 2012, we will not be able to have that format. It will return to PASIC in 2013 in Indianapolis.

• The Small Ensemble and the Individuals Competition will take place on Thursday afternoon/evening of PASIC. If you choose to participate in both, we will not alter the competition order to accommodate you. If you have a conflict, you will need to contact another competitor and ask them if he/she will trade performance order places with you. We will not alter the Small Ensemble performance order once it is set.

• In the Drumline Competition, please note that if you have a conductor, it must be a student/drum major. There are no excep-tions.

• Please note that if you choose to amplify your ensemble in the Drumline Competition, the speakers must be on the competi-tion floor. The sound board must be placed where prescribed in the Drumline Competition packet and it may be operated wirelessly, although, the operator of the sound board, whether wireless or not must be a staff member listed on your ap-plication.

• Keyboard and Timpani competitors: You must secure your own instrument and have individuals to assist you with moving it from the warm-up area to the performance area. We cannot help you with storage. We cannot contact companies for you to secure an instrument.

• Because of the change in scheduling of the Drumline Competition, there will not be exhibitions or award ceremonies for the winners of the Individuals Competition and Small Ensemble Competition at PASIC 2012.

• Individuals Competition participants: If you are not in ready position outside the competition room for your category when you are called, you will not be allowed to compete. If for some reason your transportation to the convention is delayed, you must call the marching festival director and let him/her know there is a problem. The marching festival director will then make a decision regarding your delay. Once the competition order is set, it is not PAS’s responsibility to notify you that it is your time to perform.

If you have any questions regarding the information offered above, please contact me at: [email protected], cell: (205) 239–0336, office: (205) 348-9440.

We appreciate very much your participation in the 2012 Marching Percussion Festival and look forward to seeing you in Austin.

Respectfully yours,

Marching and Standstill Guidelines

Register by 09/21/2012

ELIGIBILITY

Any high school or college ensemble may enter. All ensemble members must be full-time students at the high school or college they are represent-ing. No junior high, district wide, independent, or combined ensembles comprised of members from different high schools or colleges are eligible.

First place winners from the past three consecutive years are not eligible to compete.

The Percussive Arts Society requires all ensembles to document copyright law compliance. Please complete the Copyright Clearance form including the composer, arranger, and copyright owner for each selection to be performed, even if you own the copyright. If you are performing an arrangement of a copyrighted work, submit the Request for Permission to Arrange form to the copyright holder. Please note that the copyright holder is not always the composer of the work. Completed forms must be submitted to Percussive Arts Society by September 21, 2012. Without this documentation on file, ensembles will not be allowed to perform at the PASIC 2012 Marching Festival.

INSTRUMENTATION

Instrumentation is limited to those instruments typically utilized and recognized as part of a percussion section. Also allowed are electronic instru-ments recognized as normal stage band rhythm section instruments. Conventional wind and/or string instruments (other than string bass and gui-tar) may not be used. Single tone, non-keyed horns (i.e. whistles, sirens, animal calls, etc.) may be used only if generating an effect, and may not be used in any melodic form. No pre-recorded music or pre-recorded audio effects may be used. All electronically produced sound must be gener-ated in “real time” by a performing member. The use of sequences or any sequenced, copyrighted material is not allowed. The generation of any electronic sound must be triggered by an implement or hand striking the key, instrument, or pad of the instrument producing the rhythmic sound.

Amplification and a mixing board may be utilized as well as wireless operation of the mixing board/sound system. If using amplification, the speak-ers must be placed on the competition floor behind the front line. The mixing board must be placed at the center of the competition floor no more than 5 feet from the front line. Obviously, if the mixing board/sound system being is operated wirelessly, the person doing that operation may situate his/herself anywhere in the performance hall. Only members of the staff of the competing ensemble may operate the mixing board/sound system, and must of course be members of PAS.

SELECTION OF PARTICIPANTS

Due to schedule restraints, the number of ensembles in each category will be limited to 12 high school marching, 12 high school standstill, 5 col-lege marching and 5 college standstill, and will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. Entries must include completed registration forms and include full payment. The copyright clearance and registration forms must be completed and returned to the Percussive Arts Society by Sep-tember 21, 2012. Participants will be notified of acceptance via e-mail. If applications are received on the same day, performance positions of the first 12 high school marching and first 12 high school standstill applicants will be determined by random draw at the PAS office. If applications are received on the same day, the first 5 college marching and first 5 college standstill applicants will also be determined by random draw. A category must have a minimum of two applicants to be considered a competition. If there is only one applicant that group may perform in exhibition. The performance schedule will be posted on the PASIC website the end of October.

ENTRY LIMITS We will have four competition categories: high school standstill and marching and college standstill and marching. We will allow 12 participants in each high school category and 5 participants in each college category. We will have a waiting list of three ensembles for each category. If after the deadline for completed applications passes and a category has openings, we will use the ensembles on the waiting list for that category. A category must have a minimum of two ensembles to be considered a competition. Small Ensemble will take place on Thursday evening during the Individuals Competition.

RULES

Each ensemble is responsible for providing their own equipment. PAS does not provide storage for instruments.

All equipment and props must be placed anywhere within the performance area. The front sideline is inviolate at all times (this includes all sound



equipment other than the mixing board). No motorized vehicles, pyrotechnics, discharge of arms, pressurized canisters, dangerous materials, inflammable liquids or animals will be permitted in or around the performance area. Smoke machines will not be allowed. Electrical (plug-in or battery operated) or compressed air apparatuses, including lights, lasers, and flash cubes (electrical or chemical) will not be allowed. Amplification can be used in the performance area by performers playing musical instruments, singing or voice. The electrical source for electronic instruments must be a 115/120v typical wall outlet. Car/truck type wet batteries cannot be used. The only batteries that will be allowed are “off the shelf” type flashlight batteries. Gasoline, electric, or manual powered generators will not be allowed. Lighting cannot be turned off in the performance area by an ensemble and use of auditorium/stage lighting will be prohibited.

Time Limits of Performance High School Performance: 4–7 minutes College Performance: 4–8 minutes

Maximum time allowed on the performance area: Each high school unit will have an interval time of 10 minutes. This 10 minute interval includes set up, the minimum to maximum performance time requirements, breakdown, and the removal of all members and equipment from the perfor-mance area. Each college unit will have an interval time of 11 minutes. This 11 minute interval includes set up, the minimum to maximum perfor-mance time requirements, breakdown, and the removal of all members and equipment from the performance area.

For the purpose of interpretation, the “performance area” will be indoors and measures 90’ x 60’ with the front sideline and centerline clearly marked. Side and rear boundaries shall be the entire floor and surrounding area and shall be called the performance area. Depending on the cur-rent year’s venue, a diagram (floor plan) will be sent to all competing units to identify the performance area. For PASIC 2012 the performance area will measure 90’ x 60’. Carpeting will not be provided. Groups may use a tarp/flooring if they have such and may place it on the floor and take it up within the prescribed time limits.

For High Schools Only: A student or drum major may conduct the ensemble within the performance area. He/She may not violate the front boundary at any time. Podiums or platforms may be used, but must be placed on the performance floor. If someone other than a student or drum major conducts any part of the competing unit’s performance, that unit will be disqualified from the competition.

Standstill Only: All the aforementioned performance rules apply to the standstill competition except that all units will play from a stationary posi-tion. Ensembles may reset in between tunes without being penalized. Please note that credit will not be given for any movement.

PERFORMANCEAny equipment or props may be placed within the performance area by anyone prior to the start of competition.

The ensemble will line up at a ready line to be designated by the Contest Director. From this point, the unit should move directly and immediately into the performance area. They may set up anywhere in the performance area. This set up is not judged. However, remember that the set up and tear down are being timed. After the set up is complete and judges are ready, the announcer will say: “Joining us from (City, State) the (Ensemble Name) Percussion Ensemble under the direction of (Directors’ Name).”

Exit may be over any line except the front sideline.

All personnel, equipment, and/or props must be out of the performance area at the conclusion of the interval time. For purpose of timing, equip-ment and props are considered removed when they have been moved across either the middle vertical or horizontal line which is to be designated by the timing and penalty judge depending on the venue and contest flow. After the equipment/props have crossed this line, they must be removed from the area immediately and taken to an area designated by the Contest Director. Failure to remove equipment and props to the designated area in a timely manner is subject to a penalty at the discretion of the Contest Director.

FORMATWe will use a competitive format (with actual scores announced) for the competition. There will be no festival or non-competitive format. The Inter-active Format will not be offered for PASIC 2012 and will return to Indianapolis for PASIC 2013.

In the case of a numerical tie for first place, the school with the most first place votes will be declared the winner. If it is still a tie, whoever has the highest execution/performance marks will be declared the winner.



JUDGING

Judging will be based on PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS (quality and repertoire of the performance); and GENERAL EFFECT (musical effectiveness and coordination of the musical program). All four judges’ scores will be averaged to determine the final score. Caption Awards will also be given for Overall College and Overall High School: Best Snare Line, Best Tenor Line, Best Bass Line, Best Cymbal Line, and Best Front Ensemble.
