Team Rules

-You may NOT leave throughout the day. Not only is this a team event, you are on a very strict time schedule and it is very important that you be on campus all day long. Please remember that you have specific times that you need to be getting ready and warming-up before performances. It is crucial that you follow the time schedule because we need every minute of warmup and practice that we can get before performances.

-We expect you to be in attendance for your teammates performances. If you are not performing a solo, etc., you need to be there to support your teammates.

-If you are not in a particular routine, please help your teammates dress for the routines that they are performing in.

-Please be aware of the time. We encourage you to watch other team performances; however, you need to be aware of the time. You need to be dressed at the times specified and you need to be ready to watch your fellow teammates at their designated performance times.

-Please look at your sheet to know what you should be wearing. If you are not in costume, you are wearing your warm up pants and your contest t-shirt. Do NOT wear any other variation of this outfit.

and keeping of all personal and team items. If the dressing area is left in an unsatisfactory state we will be charged $100. This cost will come out of your pocket! CLEAN UP YOUR MESS! 

-For your safety, absolutely no men are allowed in dressing room areas

or hallways.

Contest Etiquette

-Do not discuss ANY performances (including your own) in a negative manner. If you make a mistake, do not leave the dance floor talking about it. Only discuss performances in a positive manner. Please remember to be supportive and respectful of other teams as well, you never know who is listening in on your conversation!!

-When watching performances in the Main Gym, teams may be asked to sit on the opposite side of the gym from the parents. You are NOT an exception to this rule!

-Remember during the awards ceremony to cheer politely for other teams. They worked just as hard as you did to be successful.
