Download Judging Cheat Sheet and Marching Band Judge Certificate here

🎺 It’s competition season! The first performance is in the books — so how did the band do? What score would you give them? You do know how to score a band… right? No? Don’t worry — the Band Dads are here to help!

In “I Heard That!” we kick things off with fresh content that revisits and refreshes one of our most popular conversations: how marching bands are scored and judged. We’ll break down the adjudication process, what to watch and listen for, and how to better understand those mysterious numbers and sheets that shape competition season.

After that warm-up, we roll into a replay of one of our favorite Season 1 classics: Episode 3, “Do You Hear What I Hear.” In that episode, Scott put Chris through a crash course (a.k.a. “certification training”) on how to evaluate a marching band like a judge — and trust us, it’s as educational as it is entertaining.

And don’t forget the extras! At the top of this description you’ll find a link to our 1-page Marching Band Adjudication Cheat Sheet — a must-have for every band parent heading into competition Saturdays. Plus, if you want to brag about your new skills, download and print your very own official Band Dads Marching Band Adjudicator Training Certificate.

This episode is packed with value, insight, and tools to make your competition weekends more fun and less confusing. Listen in now, so you’ll be educated, prepared, and maybe even ready to judge from the stands!
