What kind of dresses can students wear?
Tiny Miss (4k and 5k) may wear short dresses. All other particpants are required to wear long dresses.
What does “spirit wear” mean?
Spirit wear is anything that shows your HCA pride! This may include clothing as well as fun accessories like pom-poms, hats, and more.
How are student bios created?
Each form includes a set of questions for students to answer. We use their responses to create a personalized bio for each student.
Will participants have time to practice walking on stage?
Yes. During practices, Miss Watson or Ms. Heath will walk all participants through how to enter the stage and where to stop. There will also be a full walkthrough at the final practice, and participants may bring their shoes to practice in.
How will practice work?
During practice, one instructor will work with participants on their dance, while another will focus on walking on stage. We ask that all parents wait in the commons during practice. Once practice is over, students will be released. For all elementary students, a parent must be present in the commons to sign them out on a release form.
Where will participants get dressed?
We will have assigned classrooms that will be used as dressing rooms. Each participant is allowed one backstage helper. No men are permitted backstage.
When will the doors open?
All doors will open 30 minutes before the scheduled start time. Please use the main entrance.
Where should participants and backstage helpers park on the day of the event?
Please park in the back parking lot. Volunteers will be available to help unload and carry items into the building.
