ROUTINE
Officers will teach a tryout routine during a rookie camp, held after school the week prior to tryouts. An independent judging panel composed of 3 directors from other school districts will judge routines. This routine will cover basic equipment fundamentals and movement, with minimal drill included. Scores will be based on effort, timing, and performance quality. Maximum score is 50.

TEACHER EVALUATIONS
Candidates will be required to obtain teacher evaluation forms from the director. Teachers should complete and return them to the Director before the tryout date. Teacher evaluations will be averaged for each student, giving an overall score. Maximum score is 15.

GRADES & REFERRAL HISTORY
Student grade and behavior records will be examined to determine eligibility for tryouts as well as reliability and determination. A point system will be used to give an overall score: 4 points for a's; 3 points for b's; 2 points for c's; 1 point for d's. Minor infraction referrals will deduct one point from the overall score. Severe infractions may be cause for removal from officer tryouts completely. Maximum score is 15.

DIRECTOR EVALUATION
Tryout candidates will be evaluated during the rookie camp the week before tryouts. Attendance, effort, and attitude will play a major role in this score. Maximum score is 20.
