CHANGE ROOM & REHEARSAL ROOM GUIDELINES:

PROPS: Backstage access will be provided 1 hour prior to show times for prop arrival.

• SMALL PROPS: The loading door is for prop drop-off and pick-up only. This must be completed before the competition begins each day, as access to the loading door during show hours cannot be guaranteed. All props must be loaded in and out daily, as overnight storage is not available.
• LARGE PROPS: Please ensure the Competition Directors are made aware of any large props. Large prop load-in and load-out must be scheduled on a case-by-case basis.

BACK UP MUSIC: We ask that all Studio Owners/Directors have backup copies on hand at the event.

• A USB, iPod, iPad, laptop or cellphone can be used for backup music ONLY.
• Adapters (if needed) must be provided by Studio Owners/Directors and/or teachers as we cannot guarantee compatibility from device to device.
  
  

NOTE: Teachers are responsible to play backup music. We ask that teachers are present at the music table to give any special cues. We cannot guarantee that a pitch control change can be precisely made. It is best to pre-pitch all music to avoid technical issues.
