Teams will be required to follow specific guidelines in the dressing areas. Please extend courtesy to other teams and share space. 

Under no circumstance will men be allowed in any of the female dressing areas.

No food will be allowed in the dressing areas. Teams will be held responsible for any damages.

SCHEDULES

A preliminary contest schedule will be sent by e-mail approximately one week prior to the contest. An updated schedule will be posted on the web site the Wednesday prior to the contest.

We are attempting to avoid faxing any schedules this year. If you do not have access to the Internet to receive a schedule by e- mail, please notify the office or note on your registration form and a schedule will be faxed to you. No individual faxes to parents. 

Schedule may run as much as 30 minutes ahead or behind. Please advise spectators and parents accordingly.

After receiving your preliminary schedule, please notify the office immediately of any changes that need to be made.

Any cancellations or drops from the schedule within 7 days of the competition will be issued no refunds or credits.

2 DAY COMPETITIONS
 

Many of our competitions will run for two days, Friday and Saturday. At these contest sites, we encourage you to enter your soloists, officers and ensembles on Friday and do your team events on Saturday. This not only makes your team members less stressed and fatigued, but will also allow everyone the opportunity to depart earlier on Saturday evening. However, if you are unable to make it on Friday to participate in solo, officer and/or ensemble events, all of the events will still be running on Saturday. If you can perform any of your events on Friday, please be sure to note the events on your registration form.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS FOR PROPER REGISTRATION

After receiving your Contest Handbook, review all rules and regulations.

Decide which team and officer events your team will enter and mark them on your registration form.

Ask team members that are interested if they wish to participate in the solo, duet, small ensemble, medium ensemble and/or large ensemble part of the competition. If so, get the soloists names and grade levels, assign numbers to the ensembles -add that information to the back of your registration form. Solos and ensembles may be sent separately following team registration. Note events that can go on Friday.
