The Importance of a Good Post-Contest Critique
|
DID YOU KNOW...
All Tournament members are offered FREE use of technology to register for contests and for ease of communication. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, unit directors have the opportunity to receive feedback from the judges, at the contest, immediately following the performance, which can be downloaded to your electronic device. No cassette tapes! No cassette recorders! It takes only a few minutes to sit in the gym within eyesight of the router at the technology/tabulator table, connect to the system (you've all received instructions numerous times and they are available at the tech table at each contest) and within a few seconds you can download and then go on your way and listen to the audio files in private as you sit and relax in the cafeteria, hallway, classroom, etc. Some unit directors attend the post-contest critique with notebooks filled with commentary, ready to embark on the next week's changes, fixes, and design processes, and the time spent in critique can then be best utilized discussing fine tuning, refining of the commentary, or even ask judges about some possible changes. Unit directors that attend and say "I didn't listen. So, what did you think?" are wasting a great opportunity when the judges simply have to rehash what they recorded and there is little or no discussion as to how to implement some of the issues already discussed. This opportunity is FREE for all Tournament members. DID YOU KNOW that other associations charge EACH MEMBER UNIT as much as $100 PER SHOW PER UNIT to receive files? DID YOU KNOW that the WINDI system is unique to Tournament, designed for our own use in audio files, scoring, scheduling, etc.? DID YOU KNOW that Tournament has invested heavily to create a near paper-free environment activity yet at the same time provide every bit of information via the use of technology? DID YOU KNOW that units who prepare for post-contest critique typically get more out of the critique, and also tend to show the most improvement? If you have any questions pertaining to WINDI's use in Tournament, downloading files, downloading the most recent app for your electronic device, or any other technological feature, please contact Doug Williams, TIA-11 Region Coordinator, and he will be happy to provide you with details and assistance. |

A Note From Doug...
Click here to download the 2018 TIA Standard Announcement Form for Units.
Directors should visit www.njatob.org and log in to the WINDI account in order to download the most recent WINDI mobile app for use in downloading adjudication files at contests. This update was made within the last few months and it would be a good idea to remove the old app and download the most recent in order to assure access to files at this week's contest.
Be sure that all equipment and props are properly and adequately padded to prevent any damage to the gym floor.
All dues and insurance forms (independent groups) must be paid and presented before you are allowed on the floor.
If you haven't sent your sound files to Doug Ott, you need to do that. You should always bring backup discs, mp3 files in the event something goes wrong.

How Can My Band or Indoor Unit Join TOB/TIA?
Tournament of Bands and Tournament Indoor Association provide a competitive arena for marching bands, indoor guards, twirlers, percussion and dance teams, as well as for jazz bands, choral groups and other related units. TOB/TIA contests are held annually in 9 states throughout the mid-Atlantic region where 13 regions are created geographically for local contests. West-central Pennsylvania is designated as the Allegheny Mountain Region 11. From September through October, marching bands will have the opportunity to perform in contests throughout the chapters. The number of musicians (or auxiliary, whichever is highest) is used to determine the group size. Bands can elect to compete in the Open Class (traditional TOB scoring), A Class (new bands or staffs), or Festival Class (Ratings only). Indoor ensembles perform from January through early May. Please view www.njatob.org for guidelines and classifications of color guard, twirlers, dance teams and percussion ensembles. An annual membership fee of $100 entitles ALL of your school or organization units to participate without additional costs for the year! A one-time fee for performance bond is allocated to each unit.
If you have any questions or are interested in obtaining more information about joining TOB/TIA, please email Doug Williams, Allegheny Mountain Region 11 Coordinator.
