The schedule allows for a 10 minute equipment warm up in the warm up gym. Movement and music warm ups can be done in each group’s designated space / adjacent hallway. Volunteers will notify periodically of the time remaining.
There is a Captains Retreat at the end of the show for the presentation of scores and awards.

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 the warm up gym, by the On Deck area (highlighted in yellow on the map). 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.
