Scoring Format

The Rams Marching Invitational will use the same score sheets as the SCBDA state contests. Like SCBDA, there will be six judges that make up the total score. In addition to the six judges, there will be a color guard and percussion judge that will give scores to determine caption winner. (The color guard and percussion judges will not factor into the total score.)
