General Information

DIRECTOR CHECK IN

Registration will be located in the Faculty Lounge (see map connected to the cafeteria). Upon checking in, you will receive wrist bands for your staff and performers. Please give the wrist bands to staff members and performers only.

WARM UP AREA

There will be a designated warm up area for the percussion and guard units should you choose to use it. The warm up area will be located in the CAFETERIA (see school map). You will find your warm up time on the competition schedule.

You will be allowed to set up your equipment for warming up near your designated parking area. Space is limited so please be respectful to other groups in terms of set up. You will not have room near your designated parking to set up floors. Please do not block parking for other groups with your floors. If a parking attending asks you to move your equipment to allow other groups to park please be respectful and comply with the request.

SILENT ZONE

The silent zone will be indicated inside the quad. You are welcome to warm up near your trailers/buses, in the parking lots, on the outside of the open quad, and on the soccer fields.

** However if it rains on the day of the competition, you will be permitted to seek cover under the over-hangs of the quad class rooms and in that case we will move the silent zone to directly in front of the spectator entrance to the gym. Let’s hope for no rain!

RESTROOM AND LOCKER ROOM FACILITIES

We will have ample access to facilities during the competition. We will have access to the locker rooms for changing purposes; however you will need to accompany your groups to the locker rooms for supervision. We will have parents assigned to the outsides of the locker room facilities to allow your group access. With that being said, we do advise that your groups arrive in performance attire.
