Addresses for hotel or venues can be found in the itineraries.

A friendly reminder that all competition and clinic days are all day events. Students are expected to be at these competitions. We are not like a basketball or football team with a bench... all 83 members are important to the production of our competitive show.

Some competitions have clear bag policies (typically at Universities). Please plan accordingly so you are not surprised if you get turned away at the gate to put your bag in your car.
