* If you are presenting an
individual award that includes a large medal, please make sure to take the
time to put the medal on her/him.
* If there is a
photographer there, make sure to take a moment to 'pose' with the
recipient and their awards. Do not take too long as it may delay the
awards procedures.
* If there is a need to
mail an insert plate to a team, make sure to briefly explain that their
insert will be mailed to them the week after the contest.
* After the last award has
been presented, make sure that all the judges line up in front of the
awards table in an orderly manner (do not talk, fidget, nor bother with
the awards table) to listen to the closing words, applaud, then disperse
to congratulate teams.
* If you have been
assigned to go out to assist with the store, make sure to go promptly to
your station. You may want to take a few moments to congratulate some of
the teams on your way out.
* If you have been
assigned to assist with passing out solo packets, make sure to go quickly
to the table to spread the sacks out to be dispersed. You may need to find
some of the teams if they have forgotten to pick up their packets. It is
so much easier to disperse on site than to mail later.
* Make sure that all music
tapes are distributed into team bags and not packed away. Remember to also
collect solo finalist tapes from the sound table and put them in the
results sacks.
* If someone approaches
you with a question regarding scores, please refer them to the contest
tally administrator.
* When everything has been
dispersed, you may assist the Awards Table Manager in repacking the awards
and supplies. Make sure that everything is put back into it's proper tub.
All headsets should be turned off and returned to the proper carry case.
The Marantz patch cords always go back into the black case with the
Marantz. The mixing board cords also go back into the case with the mixing
board. The speaker cords go in a special tub especially for speaker cords.
The microphones should not have the cords taken off and should be with the
sound equipment. Trophies and acrylics should be wrapped properly. Please
read the
section.
* When everything has been
packed away, you may be assigned to stay either with the van and trailer,
or with the contest supplies in the gym, until everything is fully loaded.
The contest administrator may ask for input or feedback on how we can
improve procedures for that contest. Everyone will go to eat when the last
item has been packed away in the van and trailer.
* If you have driven your
personal vehicle, make sure to turn in your mileage
and you will be sent a check in the week following the contest.
* You will be paid
according to your assigned job, number of days, experience and
productivity as a judge. You will be paid an additional amount if you are
a contest administrator and have completed the contest administrators
seminar training
