From the Floor to Outdoor!

Our inaugural Marching Band season begins this October! FFCC Outdoor will provide standardized, consistent, educationally focused performance events across the state of Florida.

Learn more about our Advisory Board & Judging Administrators below!

Classification

Classes are determined by the total number of performers, including percussion, colorguard, and auxiliary.

  • Class 1A: 50 Performers or Less
  • Class 2A: 51-70 Performers
  • Class 3A: 71-90 Performers

  • Class 4A: 91-125 Performers
  • Class 5A: 126 Performers or More

  • Festival Class: Rating or Comments Only, All Sizes

Adjudication

Our adjudication system is based on the Western Band Association’s established criteria, which the Advisory Board felt would be a good fit for FFCC Outdoor’s educational and competitive philosophy.

We have worked with WBA to license their adjudication sheets for the upcoming season.

Festival Class is a non-competitive option open to bands of all sizes. Festival Class participants can perform for a rating or comments only. Festival Class sheets will be available soon.
