• Arrive when you like, but we recommend at least 30 minutes prior to the opening of your festival.
• Check-in is in the parking lot near the entrance. There you will collect your tickets and wristbands. Directors only please. Pay later in the day.
• Have an exact count of students, chaperones, school employees and meal deals ready. 
• Payment occurs during the day - in the financials office. During check in you will schedule an exact time to settle your account in the financials office. 
• During check-in you will choose your lunch time (if you are purchasing meal deals)
• ​After check-in, take your students inside the park, select a location to call your "home base" and enjoy the day!
• 30 minutes prior to your performance time, meet your students to dry off and be ready to start their warm-up, performance and clinic. You should gather the group just outside their performance venue. 
• Band and Orchestra operate on a 30 minute schedule which includes warm up, performance and clinic all at the same venue.
• Choirs operate on a 20 minute schedule which includes warm up, performance and clinic all at the same venue.
• The clinic will be a brief, positive, verbal evaluation directly after your performance.
• Once you have performed - it’s back to the attractions!
• Your judge will award your rating and trophy at the completion of your clinic. There is no awards ceremony.​
