If you’ve attended a show, but haven’t yet been IN a show, the backstage area is a well oiled machine when it comes to getting athletes on the stage. A few tips for those new to the sport.
- Athlete’s Meeting – ATTEND THIS! The team will explain how the day is going to work, the order of events, and what posing you’ll be doing during Pre-Judging and Finals. Once the meeting is over? It’s time to head backstage and stay backstage. When the show starts, it moves quick.
- Tanning touch-ups – Don’t everyone jump into the tanning touch-up line at once. The Expediters will let your class know when to go for touch-ups or glaze. There’s an order of events and no one wants to miss their class.
- Expediting – The expediters have their lists of each division, class with your number and name. They will be lining you up as many as 3-6 lines deep. Once you’re called to line up, don’t leave! They may not have realized you stepped out of line and send your class on its way. And if you don’t get called for the class you’re supposed to be in? Check with the expediters, they’ll get you placed where you need to be.
