READY TO GO!

We are all set up and ready to go for our early start tomorrow...make sure you wrap up warm! Dressing room doors open 7.45am Saturday for an 8.30am start and 8.30am Sunday for a 9am start.

Some last minute reminders:
- Make sure you "check-in" via the app by clicking on your⚡️symbol and are side stage in time for your class so we don't have to come looking for you
- Please ensure the dressing room is kept tidy and take any rubbish home with you.
- Makeup must be applied on the allocated area to protect the dressing room carpet
- Out of courtesy for each performer please only enter the theatre to watch when there is NO music playing. If you could remind anyone coming to support you about this etiquette rule that would be appreciated.
- There is a table set up in the foyer where you will find your certificates and ribbons once results have been announced. Adjudicator feedback will be on the APP.
- Water & Rosin are available side stage for anyone to use - please keep this area tidy and use sparingly.

We look forward to seeing you all shine onstage!
