Philosophy

The goal of the Southwest Judges Network, in partnership with the California State Band Championship Series, is to provide a supportive, educational, and consistent forum of competition. This includes ranking and rating student performances while providing scoring-significant commentary. We partner with unit directors, instructors, and students in providing an objective and unbiased reflection of the level of achievement presented in their performance that day.
