Umm - not to be disrespectful but up to 2003 NJA has had a number of non music majors and non "working toward " a music degreed person judging many, many, many shows. In fact we "experienced" a string of 4 shows in a row in 2001 with a plumber, UPS driver, Mailman and a nightwatchmen judging music captions. All of them marched but were never music majors......
Just sayin - so if something changed in the last several years, I apologize -
