What to wear: 

Students should dress to impress- bright solid colors! Stay away from patterns, please. Girls in sundresses or nice pants- no jeans. Shoes that support the movement. Dance shoes, flexible flats, or clean, colorful tennis shoes are fine- if you must. NO sandals, Closed toed shoes only. We used to say, wear your "Sunday Best" Hair pulled off the face. Colorful headbands and bows are nice on the girls. Students should look neat and professional. We want them to pop on stage: bright-  yellow, red, violet, bright green, sky blue, orange, and hot pink. No grey dull, or washed-out colors.

Parking

All community stage performers will need to park at Gate 1, also known as the Red Gate. If you park at any other gate, you will have to walk across the fair grounds and may not make it to the Entertainment Hall in time for your performance. If you have a parking pass you may park at Zone 4. On the map below and included with your tickets, Zone 4 is denoted as the Loading Zone. Please prioritize this parking space for vehicles in your group carrying large equipment. Any vehicles parked at Zone 4 will be asked to move after their performance.
