1. Please note that ALL competitors must be in possession of an all-events convention registration in order to be eligible to compete. This applies to each quartet member and each chorus member. We will be checking convention registrations (wristbands), so please Be prepared to show your wristband when you enter the backstage area. Registrations can be purchased on-line. 2. Pre-contest stage time for quartets will be the usual 3 minutes per quartet from 2:00 - 3:30PM on Friday afternoon. These are the times that the sound engineers will be available. After 3:30, the sound system and stage lights will be turned off, but you are welcome to continue to use the stage until 5PM. You are on your own to monitor your time on stage to ensure fairness to other competitors who want to test the stage. 3. If your quartet or chorus is interested in an evaluation session following the respective contest session please confirm that information with the C&J VP when you are contacted. If you do not specifically request to participate in the evaluation process you WILL NOT be included in the evaluation schedule. If you confirm that you want to participate in the post-contest evaluations and you fail to attend the evaluations, you will be charged $20, payable to the MAD Youth Outreach program. 4. THERE WILL BE NO CHORUS STAGE TEST TIME on Saturday morning, prior to the official start of the chorus contest. Choruses desiring to put up risers in their assigned warm-up room should make such arrangements through VP Events, Walter Griffith, so that he can make arrangements with the convention venue. 5. There is no deposit required for chorus evaluations (post-contest coaching sessions); however, if your chorus is NOT planning to attend the chorus evaluations, please let VP C&J Gary Plaag know the week before the contest so that your chorus is not included in the evaluation schedule. 6.
