MUSIC

Auxiliary Input: Music must be played on a Auxiliary Input capable device. Please ensure your phone is on airplane mode and that the volume is turned up full. We recommend you have the music downloaded to your device and not played from an online cloud storage system eg dropbox. It is recommended that you bring TWO HIGH-QUALITY copies of your music to the event. We highly suggest that a coach plays the music for your team and not a participant. 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.

Helpful Tips: To ensure you have the best experience at our events, we have come up with these great tips to help you prevent music interruption. Fully download your music onto your device. Items played from email servers, cloud storage systems etc can stop start based on stream speed of the 4G/wifi in the venue. We suggest putting each track into its own play list or “note” to prevent the next track playing at end. We recommend taking the cover off your audio player to ensure the auxiliary input is not disturbed on the day. If you are using your phone, ensure it is switched to flight mode before connecting the auxiliary cable to your device. Lastly, after you have plugged in your device, ensure the volume is up on full before you hit play. Many devices automatically drop the volume after they are plugged in. Please make sure to bring a adapter for you phone to plug in to the AUX plug.

COACH & VIP SEATING

There is coach seating available at the front of the stage. This seating is available for the coaches of the teams that are about to perform. However, if the seats are free you are welcome to sit there, we just ask that you leave the 4 middle seats free for any coaches of the teams that are coming up next.
