Frequently Asked Questions

Start times for events are for spectators. Students should arrive early to set up instruments, move equipment, change into uniforms, etc. 

How early depends on what the director has specified and what your student’s duties are. If you have any questions, email your director.

  • Each host band sets up their schedule differently. The directors will send this out ahead of time with directions for parking (if necessary). 
  • We compete as a class B band. Classes are based on student enrollment. The smallest class is C and largest is AA.
  • Each band has an allotted time to set up, warm up, and perform their show. Points can be deducted for exceeding these limits.
  • There are multiple judges in charge of awarding points in various categories: Music, Visual, General Effect, Percussion, & Auxiliary
  • Audience reaction is part of the score! Cheer and applaud at big moments and solos.
  • There are 5 outcomes for our band’s overall rating: poor (5), fair (4), good (3), excellent (2), and superior (1). A superior rating earns a place at the State Marching Band Finals.
  • There can also be various other awards given, such as best in a category, or Grand Champion.
  • Performances of Indian Valley shows are not allowed to be shared publicly, due to music copyright laws.
  • There is an expected etiquette at competitions. To be respectful of the performers and people watching them, entering the stands during a show is not allowed.

Music boosters handle the cleaning of the marching band uniforms. They are cleaned between each season and periodically through the season. If the uniform gets wet, it is a good idea to hang it to dry fully before storing.
Care Slips for uniforms are available from the directors. If your uniform needs washing, repairing, or just some TLC, fill out a slip and drop it in the Booster mailbox. We’ll take care of it!
Color guard uniforms are the responsibility of the color guard member, using the instructions on the garment.
