Show #1 Modifications

• 1. Interval times will be increased by 2 minutes

  A class will receive 11 total minutes (up from 9)

  
Open Class will receive 12 total minutes (up from 10)

  
World Class will receive 13 total minutes (up from 11)

• 2. Groups will be encouraged to use their full allotted time.

  At the conclusion of your show, feel free to reset to a particular moment of your show and run it again. Use the opportunity to get additional reps on challenging parts of the show, exciting parts of the show, things you just learned, or whatever you feel would best benefit your program.


  This is not a rehearsal - no metronomes, staff on the floor, etc. - keep it in the spirit of the performance


  You should decide ahead of time how you are planning to use your time, and communicate this to your kids, so that it is as seamless and organized as possible


  Judges will stop judging at the conclusion of your initial performance; anything you do afterwards is purely in the spirit of providing your kids additional time on the floor

  
While not factoring into their numbers, Judges will continue to provide constructive commentary on anything you do during post-performance

• 3. No penalties will be assessed for exceeding your interval time, but please don’t exceed your interval time

  To ensure you feel comfortable leveraging your full time, we will not penalize you for going a bit over


  You will still receive a written record of your original performance time for future planning


  A NCPA representative will alert you when there are 2 minutes remaining in your interval time

• 4. Only 2 judges will judge this first show, with their primary focus being Effect-Music and Effect-Visual

  The best feedback you can receive early in the season is about how your show is coming together, so you can make good decisions on show design while there is still time to make adjustments. Thus we are eliminating the Performance-Music and Performance-Visual captions for this show only, to put more focus on “the big picture”


  The Effect-Music and Effect-Visual judges will be encouraged where appropriate to speak outside their captions to help craft the best feedback they believe they can provide for you


  Scores will be weighted 60% Effect-Music, 40% Effect-Visual

• 5. Critique will have increased time with each of the two judges

  You will receive 4 minutes with each judge, as opposed to the normal 3 minutes
