- If you need an
extension cord, you can get one from the team area.
- If a soloist is
not ready, go on to the next performer. Keep the audience still and quiet
during a performance. *Each soloist has a two minute time limit. We give
them a 15 second leeway period because many sound systems play tapes at
different speeds. If the routine performance exceeds 2 minutes and 15
seconds the soloist is no longer eligible to be a solo finalist if her
score permits.
- Use a
highlighter pen to highlight time on outside of envelope if time is over 2
min. 15 sec. and write "OVERTIME" underneath the time.
- You may be
required to run the music for the soloist. All music checks need to be
made on the music check station set up next to the sound area.
- Maintain a
pleasant and enthusiastic voice. Always remember to say the girls name and
school each time before and sometimes after her performance. This is for
the judges and the audience.
- Soloists may go
out of sequence. It is your responsibility to insure that the judges are
aware of any changes in the order .
- Collect
scoresheets and tapes from each judge. Be sure scoresheets are signed.
- Total scores
and record on the scoresheet and circle the division rating.
- Record
individual judge's scores, divisional rating, and the total score
(combined from all judges) on the Solo Tally Sheet.
- There should be
no scratch outs or write overs on the scoresheet. If you make a mistake
fill out a new scoresheet quickly.
- Each soloist
receives a medal: Gold for a DIVISION I Rating and Silver for a DIVISION
II Rating. Avoid, if possible giving a soloist less than a Div. II rating.
- Make a
"last call" for soloists in the team area before you pack up.
- After the last
soloist has danced and you have finished tabulating, re-check the Solo
Tally Sheet (have another judge double check your scores and addition) and
list the top 8-10 soloists in each category (or whatever number of
finalists the contest administrator has designated) on the Solo Finalists
Sheet. List NAME & SCHOOL on the sheet to be read for the announcement
of finalists. They should be listed in random order. Make 2-3 copies as
needed (one for the announcer(s) in each performance area and one for the
solo judges).
- Please be sure
to tell the judges to keep a list of their "TOP" scorers
throughout the day in each category. At the conclusion of the solo portion
get with the judges to discuss solo finalists to insure that no one was
overlooked. Please check each categorical score on sheet to insure that
the judges did not make an improper score.
- At this time
you should already know who your winners are.
- Rank the
soloists and list their NAME & SCHOOL on the final results sheet to be
read at the Final Awards Ceremony. Make two extra copies of finalists
(announcer & video people).
IMPORTANT: PLEASE
KEEP THE RESULTS AND TALLY SHEETS HANDY DURING THE AWARDS PRESENTATION AS
WE HAVE HAD TO REFER TO THEM.
- Organize the
solo results packets by school/team name and file into the proper team
results bag behind awards table. *Keep all solo results with you and in
the proper folder. Hand them to the contest administrator at the end of
the contest. Please do not show results sheet to ANY parent or director.
Refer directors and parents to the Contest Administrator or office on
Monday.
- At the end of
the day, you will need to verify any of soloists who may have added with
the ADTS Registrar to insure proper bookkeeping.
