B. At the Big Dance...
5. Program
Sometime on the first day, you'll be given a program packet. This will usually include your program, a competition memento (e.g., a T-shirt), your admission and meal tickets. DO NOT LOSE YOUR TICKETS, ESPECIALLY YOUR ADMISSION TICKETS. These cannot be replaced. You'll need to show these every time you enter the ballroom, whether you're in costume or not. There will be separate tickets for the different days and times. When you have some free time, go through the program and mark the days and times you're dancing. You'll probably be given, by your instructor, a sheet with all your dances. Keep these available. Next, if you intend to support the rest of the dancers, especially dancers from your studio, mark in your program when everyone else is dancing. Everyone likes to be cheered on. Make your voice heard.
