Out of 65 entries, the results were as follows:

52 (80%) of all entries received “Superior” ratings (This is the best rating.)

12 of all entries received “Excellent” ratings

1 entry received a “Good” rating

Of the 52 entries receiving “Superior” ratings, 14 performances received the additional distinction of “Highly Superior.” A “Highly Superior” rating is given for an exceptional performance demonstrating advanced musical maturity. This is a BIG improvement over last year when 73% of a total of 56 entries received a “Superior” rating, and just 6 performances were awarded “Highly Superior.” WAY TO GO BANDS!
