Proof of residency must be provided via a copy of a utility bill in the custodial parent(s)' name(s).

MUSIC INTERPRETATION Skaters must enter at their current Free Skate level passed or one level higher.

Music Interpretation consists of a single program composed entirely by the skater demonstrating ability to interpret music by combining moves, turns, footwork, jumps and spins. A Warm-up period consists of 1 minute without music followed by 4 minutes with the selected music played twice. Skaters will then leave the ice and be taken to a locker room where there will be no communications with teammates or parents. Each skater will hear the music one more time with his/her back to the ice at rink side while the prior competitor is performing. The judges give one mark only, and the emphasis is on interpretation of the music. This event may be judged in combination with guest judges. Levels may be combined due to lack of entries. The duration of music will be 1:30 minutes maximum for all levels.

A HSAC team may enter only one team in each competitive level. Each team will select 2 – 4 skaters to compete the 4 elements for each team event. Each team member may compete up to 2 elements in each team event. If possible, teams with more than 4 skaters should select a different group of skaters for the spin event than those chosen to compete in the maneuver event to allow more skaters to participate. 4. Teams must attempt all the listed elements in each category: If a team has one athlete perform more than half of the elements, anything over half of the elements performed by that athlete will receive no credit. 5. If a competitor performs an element higher than that listed, that element will receive no credit. For example, if the element specified is a Salchow jump and the competitor performs a double Salchow jump, no credit is given for this element. 6. An athlete may compete for only one team.

We are offering two additional group events this year at the 2016 OHHS competition. The emphasis of both group events will be on the entertainment value rather than technical content.

There will be two different group events: Mini Production Ensemble and Production Ensemble. Overall Requirements  Teams may enter either the Mini Production or Production Ensemble but not both.  A maximum of one group may represent each school.  All levels of skaters may participate in the number  Music with vocals allowed  Props allowed but must be carried on and off ice by skaters taking no more than 1 (one) minute to set up.
