• Call time is 1.5 hours before the stage time listed on the lineup. Please have hair, make-up and costuming done at call time. Plan to arrive 2 hours before stage time so you have time to park, get to the dressing room, and get costumes, hair and makeup all prepped. You must be stage ready 1.5 hours before to warm up and work with a coach.

• We don’t anticipate the competition to run early, but please stay tuned to Band for updates.

• Report to designated area completely ready with hair, makeup, and first costume on, and check in with your coach when you arrive (1.5 hours before stage time).

• No earrings or jewelry unless it is a part of the costume. No fingernail polish. French tip is ok. Nails should be “Sport length.” No underwear under costumes.

• Double knot your shoes. Secure headpiece.

• HIGH ponytail with STAIGHTENED hair when a dance requires a ponytail. Even if your child has naturally straight hair, you must use a straightener to get all the kinks out of the hair. Hair must be SLICKED BACK with gel or hairspray. No whispies. Check the costume manual above.

• Parents, please report to the dressing room to help change costumes and makeup. When your child is done dancing, it is a good practice to pack up all your costumes and belongings.

• Audience members, remember you are not allowed to video or photograph during the routines. Please remind your guests. This could result in point deduction from our routines.

• Cover your costume with your Surge warm up jacket when you are not backstage or in the dressing room.

• Parents are not allowed to be side stage.

• There will be at least one coach to work with students before their performance. The coach may not be your choreographer but will help your child warm up and run through their routine.

• Each coach will choose one dancer representative to receive the group awards. If your child is chosen, please remind them to KEEP ALL pins or medals and bring them to the studio the following week. DO NOT pass out awards on stage as they tend to get lost easily.

• If your routine places in the top announced routines, please stay on stage after awards for pictures.

Competition Announcements and Reminders:

• Please download a backup music for your child’s solo, duo and/ or trio and have it with you on a jump drive or accessible on your phone. Click HERE for music link.

• Please bring a copy of your child’s birth certificate with you. Officials may request it if another studio questions the age average of our entries.

• Bring plenty of healthy snacks and water. Bring things that don’t spill easily and don’t stain.

• Dancers should get plenty of sleep. Eat breakfast with protein…Parents too!

• Please don’t plan tiring events the day of competition.

• Give yourself plenty of time to get ready and to get to the venue. Plan to be early so there is no chance you will be late.

• Cheer for the Voltage Team! It will just be our team in the audience, so we have to make some noise for our kids!!!
