⭐ Judging ⭐

Performances are scored by camp staff.
Our team is not judged against other teams. Instead, each performance is scored against a score sheet.
Certain point ranges rank you in different places. Multiple teams can earn 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place.
During camp, you will perform at Nightlies (Mon–Wed) and on Final Day (Thursday).
