The top eight placing bands from last year, if performing again this year, were scheduled randomly into the final performance times of the daytime competition. If a band placed in the top eight under a different IHSMA classification last year and changed to a new classification this year, that band was assigned the performance time immediately prior to the returning top eight placing bands in their new classification. If this scenario applied to more than one band, those bands were assigned performance times at random immediately prior to the returning top eight placing bands in that classification. All other bands were scheduled by travel time from their performance center.
