In selecting judges, every effort will be made to secure a group that evenly represents the following four areas:
30 points | Entertainment Value |
An overall estimation of the act. Audience response and the general showmanship of performers are two major contributing factors in this category. | ||
|
||||
20 points | Musical Quality |
Music rendered by participating group members and not intended to reflect through scores the performances offered by the professionals in the pit band. This category is included to evaluate the quality of singing done by soloists, ensembles, and large groups. | ||
|
||||
20 points | Choreography | Any movement, whether dance or otherwise, designed to enhance the presentation. | ||
|
||||
15 points | Creativity | Costuming, backdrops, props, special effects, and lighting design. | ||
|
||||
15 points | Theme Development | Measurement of how well the group conveyed the stated theme to the audience and how well supporting elements (such as lights, dance, song selection, set design, and costumes) assisted. | ||

When the results have been established, they will be sealed in an envelope and delivered to the Assistant Director of Campus Programs for announcement.
