RULES AND REMINDERS FOR REGISTERING
FOR FESTIVAL 2010

Click on the button on the left labeled, "FORMS" to begin registering for State 2010!

Make certain you enter your district and troupe number on all materials.
You and your principal will be asked to confirm two items: 1.) All of your registrants have a 2.0 average at the time this form is submitted and 2.) All performance pieces have been screened by the sponsor and are deemed acceptable by the principal or his/her designee according to your community standards. Principals in Dade County are NOT required to approve performance pieces.
Consider all of your dates and conflicts before you register. THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS OF ANY KIND!
REMEMBER: All students who register for State Festival MUST have participated in their district competition. Participation is defined as performing or presenting in an Individual Event or being a member of the cast or crew of a one-act. Serving as an observer, door-keeper, time-keeper, or conference "helper" does NOT qualify you as a participant. The only exception to this rule will be students who are a member of the cast or crew of a Mainstage production chosen for Festival. Any student wishing an exception beyond these guidelines must write the State Director PRIOR to the registration deadline. All District Chairs are responsible for verifying the participation of each student in their district.
All students must have a Health Form in their registration badge. On-line you will find one page on which three forms appear. Duplicate as many as you need, cut them into thirds, and ask the students to fill them out with the assistance of their parent or guardian and return them to us with your registration packet. We will insert them in the registration badge. Sponsors and adults can also become ill. If you or your chaperones wish to carry such information to aid our doctor in treating you, just fill out the forms and send them along to us and we will include them in their badges also.

1. If your student(s) have been selected to perform in your District IE Showcase for opening night, your District Chair will give you the form to fill out and return with your registration packet.
