Guards may use speakers in warm up - Provided it does not overtake the room for other warmups and ongoing performances.

Percussion and Winds warm ups are scheduled to not overlap. Please be respectful of times so that all groups get their best warm up ahead of performing.

A Captains Retreat will be held following the last performance. Please line up in the On Deck area by 4:00pm in performance order (first performing group will be first out from the curtain).

 

Performers with Multiple Groups

It’s very exciting that our community offers multiple opportunities for members to perform! Although AMAA has tried to separate groups with shared members in the performance order, we know that it will be a rush for those members.

  • Quick Changes can occur in the washrooms near Altalink Hall. Members can pre-set their items here ahead of their performances.

  • Groups should NOT cross the timing line until all members are in the performance gym

  • MC script has lots of content to share - be sure to take a breath and get into the zone

Any day-of concerns can be shared with the AMAA Logistical Liaisons Kareen, Sam or Grace upon arrival on-site.
