How To Enter
Choose one song from Band of Silver's EP, "In Space!". Find the songs HERE.
Talk to other student body groups and seek out additional talents to use in your routine. Student body collaboration is 20% of the judging scores. Get to know and work with students outside of your team.
Create a choreographed routine that is four minutes or less. NOTE: Band ensembles may use any variation of the band they choose. We would love to see the whole band, but just the dance line and/or flags or any variation is acceptable.
Perform and film your routine in front of a live audience; during a football halftime show or pep rally, for example.
Have your coach upload your video to BandofSilverDanceRoyale.com between February 1 - March 20. The video must be less than 600MB in size. All videos must be reviewed by our moderation team which can take 24-48 hours, so upload early to be ready for voting March 1st.
Spread the word. Use posters, announcements and social media to encourage your student body, friends and family to vote for your routine to make it into the semifinals. Initial voting is March 1 - March 30.
See if you were in the top 50 of your category in votes through the website. If so, judging commences. Judging ends on April 14.
If you were judged in the top 25 of your category and advance (April 15 announcement), rally your student body once again for the most important round of voting. Voting ends May 6.
See if your team won on May 20 on the website. Read the official rules of the contest HERE.
