The KMI uses outstanding adjudicators and Tennessee Bandmasters Association (TBA) scoring sheets (https://tennesseebandmasters.org/marching-band/). The KMI features six classifications to ensure fair competition and even awards distribution. Four band judges will evaluate in areas of music ensemble, music effect, visual ensemble, and visual effect. Caption judges will be in the areas of color guard, majorettes, and percussion.
