In an effort to keep the adjudicators performing at their best over the two-day weekend event, three adjudicators have been added to this year’s North American Championships. This move should help ensure that the workload is better distributed between the solo/ensemble contest & masterclasses on Friday and the band competition on Saturday.

Adjudicators are as follows:

Championships Section
Steve Bulla
Jim Curnow
Curtis Metcalf

Honors & Youth Sections
Brian Bowen
Brian Bowman*
Bram Gregson

Challenge, Open and Exlporer
