They were adjudicated by 3 judges on their prepared performance and then were required to Sight Read a new piece of music that they had never seen.

The Concert Band received an Excellence Rating with scores of 89, 83, and 81
The Symphonic Band received a Unanimous Superior Rating with scores of 91, 90, and 90. The reason it is a Unanimous Superior is because they also received a Superior Rating on their Sight Reading.
