NJMBDA is proud to provide a virtual option for
the 2021 competitive season!
NJMBDA is committed to providing an educationally sound competitive experience to all our members. With the uncertainty that surrounds the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year, we have used this time to prepare for an unpredictable fall.
Our hope is to serve those members that will still be unable to travel due to restrictions caused by COVID-19. Please continue scrolling, or click HERE for more detailed information.

AdjudicationOnly approved NJMBDA board approved adjudicators will adjudicate virtual events. All virtual events will consist of a three person adjudication panel consisting of Overall Effect, Overall Music, and Overall Visual. All music judges for virtual contests will have experience with both percussion and wind instruments, and all visual judges will have a background in both marching, movement, and color guard. All adjudication will take place within Competition Suite. Once performance videos are submitted by 10 pm on the Saturday deadline, judges will review videos and directors will receive recorded adjudication and scores no later than the following Wednesday at 10 pm. Virtual contest adjudication sheets will be posted on a later date.
