Music
All music needs to be on CD - and they must NOT be re-writable discs. Please ensure you have a back up CD (of a different brand) in case there are any problems. We also have AUX connectivity for use of iPhones & iPods to play music.
It is the coach's own responsibility to ensure they supply the MC with the correct cd each time they present side stage to perform.
Curtains
There is a front curtain, mid curtain and back reveal. The space behind the reveal is very narrow, so if you have an entry/exit with multiple girls across the back, we suggest using the mid curtain instead.
Doors
Clubs will be notified prior to the commencement of the NDCC season when they are required to help with doors. Two people are required to help on the day; one on the auditorium door and one on the stage door. The stage door volunteer should hold a Working with Children Check. These people will not be required to pay entry to the competition they are working (maximum of two free entries given). Please present to the booking in table approximately 30 minutes before the competition to receive further instructions on your role.
Dressing Rooms
All people present in the dressing room at any time must hold a current Working with Children Check. This is in accordance with Calisthenics Victoria rules and the Working with Children Act 2005. Everyone must also have a wristband on even if they are a designated dresser. A check of WCC and wristbands will be conducted throughout all competitions.
Side stage
To ensure a quick and smooth competition, please ensure that your team is ready one full item before they are due on stage. There are no marshalls and it is your own responsibility to ensure you are ready waiting side stage to perform. Dressing rooms 1-4 are within close proximity to the stage and the person on the stage door will be able to advise you of what number is currently performing. There are tv's displaying the competition in the foyer & dressing rooms to keep track of which number is on stage.
Additional important information - please note the following:
No team will be permitted to appear without the minimum number of competitors on the stage as per
CVI guidelines. ie:

- No less than 5 in Sub-juniors clubs, free exercises and rods, and no less than 6 in all other items.
