Background music and rules: The purpose of the background music rules are to allow the Staff to conduct the most professional show possible, give everyone an equal opportunity to win, and make the contest flow in an orderly manner.

Each  CD  must be labeled with your name, and the names of the songs. Please supply us with a different CD for each performance, with your selections on each. You will be required to turn in your CD's at Registration upon arrival.

·        Performance: To make the contest fair, we do not allow contestants to bring a band, backup singers, bodyguards, etc. If you have a special microphone you perform with to make your act more authentic, you can use this during your performance.

era, movements, and showmanship. There will be sub categories for each main category. You will receive this information in a welcome package shortly after we are in receipt of your registration and your fee.
 

All judges' sheets will be deposited in a secure location after each performance so judges cannot change their  scores.
