Each group will have a warm up area for 20 minutes prior to performing. There will not be music stands available in the warm-up areas. Note the warm-up and performance times are APPROXIMATE. You must be prepared to warm-up and perform up to 30 minutes earlier than your scheduled time if we are ahead of schedule.

We are on a VERY tight schedule and MUST move things along as quickly as possible.
