Registration Instructions

There are three parts to the registration process: Group Membership, Event Registration, and Form Submission. To register for the upcoming season, please follow these instructions. Should you have any questions along the way, please contact [email protected] for assistance.

Important Notice: Per rules enacted with the 2019 season, returning groups are not permitted to select their own classification. All returning groups will automatically be placed in the class in which they ended the previous season. The three highest scoring groups in the Color Guard Scholastic Regional A class will auotmatically be placed in Scholastic AAA. Novice groups will not be allowed to continue in that class without approval by the Director of Events. For more information, please consult the member handbook.
