Equipment trucks should proceed to the rear of the school (see map) where they will be met by our equipment host. Equipment vehicles will be parked at the rear of the school for easy re-load. We have limited space available in the school for equipment. Please respect the equipment host’s directions for equipment storage/line-up; there may be groups that arrive after you that perform at an earlier time.

Rooming for all units will be in the auditorium. The boys/girls locker rooms are located to the right of the auditorium. Please make sure your members are utilizing the locker rooms for changing, no one should be changing in the auditorium. All groups will be responsible for their own belongings and equipment.

Percussion Units will be given 23-minutes of warm-up time in either (A), (B) or (C) as indicated by your schedule. Practice areas are not available in the school. If weather permits you may wish to practice outside the school. If you utilize this option, we ask that you do not block any of the entrances to the building. You must be at the gymnasium ready area (across the hall from warm-up gym C) 9-minutes prior to your scheduled performance time.

You can pick up your CD from the announcers table during breaks or at the completion of the show. The judges’ tapes can be picked up at the Judges Room shortly after the completion of your performance (They will not be at the announcers table).

KIDA ENTRANCE AND EXIT CLARIFICATION

ENTRY:

Each unit will assemble at a set-up line outside the competition area while awaiting their entrance to set up. When directed by the Contest Director, that unit will proceed from the waiting area to the initial set-up area once the previous competing unit has vacated that area. This area will be previously designated and will be ½ of the competition area (either vertical or horizontal). When further directed by the Contest Director, that unit will proceed with the remainder of their set-up utilizing the entire competition area. Your time will begin when the unit is released from the initial set-up area and crosses the centerline (either vertical or horizontal).

EXIT:

All personnel, equipment, and/or props must be off of the contest floor, clear of the centerline at the conclusion of your time. For purpose of timing, equipment and props are considered removed and timing stops when they have been moved across the center- line (either vertical or horizontal) depending on the contest/show site. After the equipment/props have crossed this line, they must be removed from the area immediately and taken to an area designated by the show sponsor.
