The Area C Marching Contest is a Prelims\/Finals format contest. This means that, after all of the bands march in Prelims, they will select the top-scoring 10 bands (out of 27 participating) to perform again in Finals. This means: 1) We won\u2019t know if we are performing in finals until 5:30pm and 2) If we are performing in finals, we won\u2019t know what time we perform until 5:45pm or so. We\u2019ll send out a twitter message with the plans for the evening once we know the prelims results. Should we not make finals, we will leave after we eat dinner and arrive by 7:15 PM. Should we advance to finals, they will start at 7:30 PM and we would return by 11:30 PM.<\/p>\n
