Wristbands are required for all spectators, performing members, all staff, as well as for all equipment crew and chaperones. If more than seven (7) wristbands are required for your staff and crew, you will need to purchase additional wristbands at a cost of $9.00 each. Seating: Spectators will sit to the left of the spectator entrance. Performers are required to sit on the opposite side of the gym. Performers are encouraged to support all units.

Guard members and staff must check-in together. Equipment Unloading: Equipment will be unloaded in Parking Lot B. Equipment will enter the school through the doors to the main hallway of the school. Tarps and props will be stored in assigned areas located in the back hallway as well as the hallways running off of the back hall, in order of performance. Please be prepared to have someone with your equipment at all times. You will be allowed to unload your equipment one hour prior to your performance and must reload as soon as performance is over. 1
Unit Guides: Every unit will be assigned a volunteer Unit Guide. While we respect that you may have done this for years and do not feel you need the services of a guide, to ensure the safety of the units and their timing of movement throughout the school, every unit will be assigned a guide. Guard: Your Unit Guide will meet you in your designated storage area 20 minutes prior to the scheduled body warm-up. Your Guide will escort you through warm-up, stay with you through your performance, escort you to mat refolding and take you back to your designated storage area. Timing for each area is determined by the published SAPA schedule. Equipment Protection and Footwear: The maximum allowable tarp size for any unit is 50 x84. All equipment tips on rifles, pikes and sabers must be padded and taped; this includes PVC pipes and any sharp corners on props, instruments or carts so as not to damage the floor. Soft-soled shoes need no added protection. Hard-soled shoes must be taped. Performers MUST wear shoes at all times when NOT in the competition area. Penalties will be assessed for violation of this rule. Inspection of Equipment: Will be in warm-up area. Tabulating and Judging Area: Please do not enter either area or communicate with judges. Performance tapes will be available after your performance at a table adjacent to the tabulation/judging area. Score sheets and recaps can be picked up after the show in the tabulation area. Performance Music: Please provide your unit s performance music to the sound coordinator immediately following unit check-in. Formats accepted are CD or MP3. Sound testing and volume control will be managed by SAPA. If you have an iphone or ipod Touch, please be sure to have another way to play your music at shows (another ipod, mp3 player, or cd).

VIDEOTAPING Due to copyright restrictions, NO ONE, NOT EVEN THE CONTEST SPONSOR, IS TO VIDEOTAPE ANY PART OF A CONTEST. The only exception is a unit videotaping THEIR OWN program. A video recording area will be designated at the top of the stands, away from the GE and EA judges. The area will accommodate one individual per performance. Due to copyright restrictions, there is to be no selling of contest videos. SAPA may video any part of the event for the purpose of educational source material.
