This person will be asked to hold onto their own music until the time of performance and to take music back following the performance.
Music Interruption: If the fault is due to event equipment or team's music failure - the coach will have to decide within 2 minutes if they would like to perform again. Judging will resume at the point where the music was interrupted. The team will be required to take the stage immediately for the 2nd performance.

There is coach seating available at the front of the stage. This is available for the coaches of the teams that are about to perform to sit. However, if the seats are free and you have a spare minute please feel free to sit there, we just ask that you the 3 middle seats free for any coaches of the teams that might come along.
