Students competing in the parliamentary procedure contest were required to take a test over parliamentary procedure and then perform a 10-minute demonstration of 10 different parliamentary motions.

The FFA information contest consisted of a 100-question test over the FFA organization, officers, history, official functions, and programs and awards.
Students in the ritual contest were required to perform the opening ceremony used at FFA meetings and official functions.
Students competing for Marion included Tacy Taylor, Collett, Charlie Holub, Mark Kukuk, Brad Klenda, Alan Overton and Ehrlich.
