Procedures Employed in the Draw and Assignment of Bands to East or West Regionals

 

KMEA Marching Band Directors,
Below please find an explanation of the procedures for Regional Quarterfinals assignments and drawings for order of performance for Quarterfinals for all five classes.
Joe Stites, chair, KMEA Marching Band Committee
------
ASSIGNMENT TO REGIONAL QUARTERFINALS SITES:
From the 2005 Rules:.
IV. KMEA STATE MARCHING BAND CHAMPIONSHIPS
C. PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT EVENT FORMAT
1. Regional Quarterfinals
c. Bands will be assigned to an east or west regional site based on their geographic location and equal division of the classifications for all registered bands. Assignments will be made by the KMEA Executive Director, band division chair, and and MBC chair and posted on the KMEA website within one week after the August 1st deadline. Bands must participate in the regional events as assigned.

PROCEDURES:
The KMEA Executive Committee, following the procedures outlined in the rule book, determined site assignments within each class “based on their geographic location and equal division of the classifications for all registered bands.” The locations of bands which are more or less centered geographically relative to the two regional sites for their class were examined and half of each classification was then assigned to the West and the other half to the East.

DRAWINGS FOR ORDER OF PERFORMANCE:
From the 2005 Rules:.
IV. KMEA STATE MARCHING BAND CHAMPIONSHIPS
A. QUALIFYING FOR STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS
5. The KMEA Executive Director will hold a drawing following the August 1st deadline to determine the order of performance in each class at the Regional Quarterfinals Event for all bands that submitted a completed application on time. Bands that do not qualify for State Championships will be removed from the performance order.
6. Bands which are selected to perform in one of the first five performance positions within their classification and regional assignment for State Marching Band Championships in the drawing conducted by the KMEA Executive Director cannot repeat in the first five drawn positions regardless of their region or classification the following year. The draw is for regional quarterfinal events only, or semifinals in the event quarterfinals are not held. This does not apply to the state semifinals held following regionals.

PROCEDURES:
Results of the 2004 drawing were checked to determine bands which were not to be in the first 5 for 2005. (Please note that the rules specify only bands “selected to perform” not just bands which qualified and did, in fact, perform.) Ten drawings were held--one for each classification within each region. Based upon applications, a drawing slip was made for each band in a particular class. Except for the bands drawn 1-5 in 2004, all band names for a particular class were placed in a drawing, slots 1-5 were drawn, then the bands drawn 1-5 in 2004 were added and the drawing for the remaining slots was made. This process was repeated for the remaining classifications within regions.
