(8:00 am - Adjudicator briefing & bagel breakfast in City Arts Board Room.) When you are dressing and packing for the day—  Don’t forget your PROGRAM and your NAME TAG.  Dress neatly and professionally for Individual Events.

9:00 am – Individual Events General Information about Individual Events 

Pick up blank critique sheets at the registration desk in the Cultural Arts Building. Take one critique sheet per adjudicator per event.



Fill out one critique sheet completely and legibly for each of the adjudicators. (Check the number of adjudicators per event listed near the critique sheets.)



When filling out critique sheets for duos and groups, keep the names in the same order on each sheet, and introduce yourselves in that order before your performance.



Arrive in your performance room at least 10 minutes before your performance time.



Present critique sheets to the adjudicators just before you perform. Move into position and wait for them to acknowledge you before you begin your performance.



Visit rooms to see performances and presentations in all sorts of areas. (Following your own troupe members around, while enjoyable, is not the best way to learn new things.)



Please DO NOT APPLAUD after events, as this may slow the adjudicators’ deliberations and throw us off schedule. (Jazz hands are good!)

Tips for Performance Events from Our Adjudicators 1. Make eye contact with the adjudicators only during your introduction. 2. Do not direct your performance to the adjudicators. 3. Do not approach the adjudicators’ table. 4. At all times, maintain a professional, slightly formal, demeanor. Do not attempt to breach the boundary between the evaluator and the one being evaluated.

Purchase lunch from Street Vendors outside the Cultural Arts Building.
