TEAM CHECK-IN:
All individuals who enter the gym during an FFCC event must have one of the following in their possession to be
admitted:
1.
2.
FFCC issued credential –
FFCC Board, FFCC Judge, FFCC Staff, FFCC Hall of Fame, FFCC Team Director
Wristband on their wrist.
This requirement includes all performers, floor crew, staff, directors, spectators, and FFCC personnel. There are no exceptions
to this rule. Credentials must be from the current season and issued by the FFCC only. A credential from any other pageantry
organization (WGI, SFWGA, etc.) does not allow you admittance to FFCC events.
Make sure that all parties affiliated with your team are aware of this rule and that they arrive at the show site with enough
time available to purchase wristbands before your team performs. Shows will run on schedule, to the minute, unless
unforeseen events occur that cause delay. Shows will NOT run early. The cost of wristbands will not be refunded if
supporters miss the performance of the team they are coming to see.
CHECK-IN ON SHOW DAY
Team Directors may always bring their team and supporters directly to check-in if they wish to distribute wristbands that
way.
1.
Wristbands will be given to the team director or team director designee only. To designate someone else to pick up
their wristbands for them, team directors can give their FFCC Director Credential to the individual going to check-in
on their behalf.
2.
When showing up at check-in, directors (or their designees) will inform the FFCC staff members at the table how
many performers are performing at that day’s show. This number must be equal to or less than the number of
performers listed on the roster. Also, this number MUST EQUAL the number of performers that the Timing and
Penalties judge will count when your team is on the floor.
3.
Directors (or their designees) will sign out their wristbands with the FFCC staff at the check in table, and also sign a
statement verifying they understand the consequences for declaring an inaccurate number of performers.
4.
5.
If you have members of your team, who are on the roster and in attendance at the show, but are not performing that
day (injury, etc.), they should be included in your performer count for that day’s show when you check-in. Then,
when your ensemble takes the floor the team director should physically point them out to the Timing and Penalties
judge so the difference between performers declared at check-in versus performers who are on the floor that day can
be reconciled without a penalty. Non participating members of the team should wear a uniform, warm up suit, or
some other clothing that makes it clear to everyone that they are actually a part of the team.
Teams will be charged a 5 point penalty at that day’s show for each performer wristband that was issued at check-in,
but not worn by a performer. In addition, the ensemble and the team director will be immediately suspended from
the FFCC, pending a hearing with the FFCC Board.
There have been many requests from FFCC member teams in the past to allow team directors to check in their teams without
all performers being there. This new procedure is a way to allow directors to do this, while also protecting the FFCC
financially from potential fraud and misrepresentations of performer counts.
Please contact an FFCC Board member if you have any specific questions on these procedures.
Guides:
A student guide will be assigned to each team on arrival to assist you until you perform.
Parking:
Abundant parking is available around the school property. No additional charge for parking is collected. Refer
to enclosed map for parking locations.
Seating in the Gym:
Judges will be seated in specially designated areas. Seating will be on a “first come, first served, basis for
spectators in the performing side bleachers. All performers will be seated on the back side bleachers. There
will be door monitors to check that all spectators have paid admission. Doors will be closed during
performances and NO entry will be allowed during performances.
Dressing facilities:
Boys and Girls locker rooms will be open for performers. Please vacate in a timely fashion to allow space for
other teams. Belleview High School and the Florida Federation of Colorguards Circuit will not be responsible
for lost, stolen or damaged property. Please be courteous to the teams using this facility later in the day and
clean up after yourself.
WARM-UPS:
Please do not use the courtyard for any warm-up. There is ample space around the school.
Official Colorguard Warm-ups will take place in the cafeteria that will be partitioned off into two areas. Each
colorguard will stay in one area for their entire warm-up time in an A/B format. A volunteer will be on duty to
assist in keeping to the rotation schedule, however we ask that you do your best to follow your assigned
times. Guards may choose to skip the scheduled warm-up, but are responsible for reporting to the holding
area on time.
Prop Storage:
Storage for props will be located outside the media center and under the covered walkways in front of
Buildings 4 and 5 en route from warm-up to holding. After your performance we ask that you load your props
into your trailers/trucks. Please see map attached.
Inspections:
Equipment and props will be inspected in the holding area prior to the performance. Questions regarding
your equipment’s legality will be determined by the Contest Director and Chief Judge assigned by the Florida
Federation of Colorguards Circuit.
Foot Covering, Equipment and Accessories:
All rifles, flag poles and sabers must be padded and any props must have a protective covering.
Shoes with hard soles must be taped. All carts or rolling equipment must have clean, working wheels. No
metal wheels allowed. All equipment and props will be inspected prior to performance. Any questions about
equipment’s legality will be determined by the Contest Director and Chief Judge assigned by the FFCC. Please
understand teams unable to take corrective action may not be allowed to perform if said performance may
risk floor damage.
Floor Size:
Contest floor will be 55’ x 80’. A black floor will be down on the gym floor for additional protection. Teams
with their own performance floor covering will place theirs on top of the strips.
Equipment Removal:
Teams must remove all equipment from the gym immediately following performance.
Tabulating and Judging Area:
Only authorized FFCC or assigned personnel will be allowed in the tabulation and judging areas. DO NOT
APPROACH TABULATION AREA OR JUDGES AREA AT ANY TIME! Judges commentary will be uploaded to the
ffcc.org website as soon as it is processed.
Floor Crew:
If you are bringing your own floor covering, please make sure your floor is at holding on time. We will be
providing small floor crews for every team performing; they are there to assist your floor crew. They have
been trained on how to set up your floor based on the entry/exit procedure for our gym. Please make sure
your floor is folded correctly for the show.
Show Music:
Show music CD’s should be turned in to the sound table at least 30 minutes prior to the team’s performance
time. If you are using an MP3 player the circuit can connect it to the sound system, but will not be responsible
for its operation. A guard staff member must be present to operate the player. If not picked up after your
performance, your show CD will be placed at the trophy table.
Sound Checks:
Sound check will take place from 12:00 – 12:55 PM. After this time, sound checks will only take place during
official breaks when the sound technician is available.
Awards Ceremony:
There will be two awards ceremonies for this competition. Captains and commanding officers will be called to
the holding area following the final performance of each portion of the show.
