**SPECIAL NOTES TO SHOW CHOIR PARENTS AND CHAPERONES**

We are asking all parents and directors to frequently remind all students about the importance of staying well-hydrated (suggesting that all students drink at least 8oz of water or Powerade 1-2 hours before they perform) and maintain good nutrition throughout the busy day. These simple steps can help prevent some of the most common complaints (light-headedness, fainting, and headaches) that occur. Please remember to have all children bring any medications (such as inhalers) they might need during the day. If parents have any special medical concerns about their child, they are invited to discuss this with the first-aid team, located in the nurse’s office, near the main entrance. Our goal is to make this a very fun, and safe, day for all participants.

Also, if you are a designated parent chaperone for your show choir, you must obtain your entrance wristband from your director on the day of the event. These will not be available at the ticket sale tables.
