Please begin thinking about two different people who can support your team during the tournament. Part of your team registration REQUIRES your team to supply two names. 

One person will be an appraiser (judge) at the tournament. An appraiser should be available to attend a required 3-hour training in January and attend the regional tournament at Waxahachie HS on February 8th. The appraiser should not be an immediate family member as it is an all-day commitment and you would miss your child's performance. Appraisers will receive a free tournament t-shirt, lunch, and snacks.

The second person will be a volunteer at the tournament. The volunteer should be available to cover a 2-hour shift at the regional tournament at Waxahachie HS on February 8th. No training is required. A volunteer must be 18 years or older.

These names will need to be solidified before registration on December 6th. They will both fill out a link provided by the team manager as part of the team registration.
