New Ruling
Only ONE dance/drill team per school can enter state team contest which means only ONE Varsity dance team per school can enter the competition.
A school cannot enter two varsity dance teams and enter them with a (color) to signify two different teams. This new ruling applies to schools/teams entering Pom, Jazz, Prop, Novelty, Hip Hop, Lyrical, Military, Kick and Hoopla. The policy for Color Guard, All-Male and Coed remains the same.
New Ruling - # of Performers:
A school entering the State Drill Team Competition must register the
maximum number of dancers that could compete in the divisions entered. The number of dancers and persons dancing each routine may vary by 30%. 70% must remain consistent from the registered number, but not less than 6 minimum.
"For example: a team has 10 members, and they are entering Jazz, Pom and Lights. The coach needs to register and pay for 10 in each category. However, the coach can put 10 in Lights, 8 in Jazz and 7 in Pom. 70% of the team has remained consistent but 30% of the team numbers has changed."
