Judge Info

First of all, THANK YOU for your willingness to share your judging talents with so many talented students representing many high schools from the northeast corner of the state of Iowa. The contest managers, as well as all coaches, thank you immensely for your efforts and dedication to the IHSSA.

When you arrive at the school, we ask that all judges park in the east parking lot that will be reserved just for you. Take a look at the map provided on this site and note the parking lot on the east side of the building, just past the greenhouse and school garden. You may then enter directly into the judges' lounge through the exterior door just off that parking lot.

Your contest day will begin promptly at 7:15 am with the judges' meeting. We encourage you to arrive any time after 7:00 am to get started on reviewing your packet and schedule for the day! The meeting will start on time, so we can complete all tasks before starting the performance day.

Some judges will be asked to be substitute judges and act as room chairs if not needed to judge. You will be treated like a judge and paid accordingly. A big thank you to helping out even if you are not officially judging in a center. You will receive a year's worth of experience by acting as a certified judge room chair, as well.

Snacks and beverages will be available throughout the day, as well as a delicious lunch provided to you in the judges' lounge. If you need anything else during the day, please ask your room chair for assistance and send a runner to the office. We will be happy to assist as best we can.

Friendly judging reminders...professional look, positive attitudes, and plentiful smiles!

You will all be treated to some memorable performances, and we hope you enjoy your day immensely.

A LIST OF JUDGES AND ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU VIA EMAIL FOR 

POSSIBLE CARPOOL PURPOSES.
