East Kentwood 2022

12:00 PM Start
East Kentwood High School

Kentwood, MI 49508
Information:
This is a large contest with only one awards ceremony – as always, we recommend arriving early!
Ties at Scholastic Competitions: in the event two bands tie in overall score at a Scholastic Marching Band competition, the band with the higher Overall Music score, combining Music Performance (MP) and Music Effect (ME), will “beat the tie”.
In Scholastic, the Best Music caption award only recognizes Music Performance. There is a possibility that a band could earn the highest Music Performance score but not have the highest Music Effect score. In the event of a tie, there is a mathematical possibility that if Band A won Best Music, Band B could still win the tie.
Based on the official recap provided to directors at the contest, this possibility appeared to be the case, as the recap listed Portage Central as first place. That is what we originally added, when we entered scores at 11:40pm, driving home from our long day at the Jenison Invitational.
While the recap listed Portage Central first, the math does in fact indicate differently.
Vicksburg earned an overall Music score of 58.6 (MP 29.4, ME 29.2); Portage Central had an overall Music score of 58.4 (MP 29.3, ME 29.1). The results here have been updated to reflect Vicksburg’s first place finish.
