Extra important information

Arrival

• Please arrive in the ballroom in your Fever uniform. Black performance t-shirt, black leggings, and fever jacket if you have one. No denim! If you don’t have any uniform please wear plain black leggings/tracksuit bottoms and a plain t-shirt (or your cheer top).
• Please enter the Tower using the PROMENADE ENTRANCE. These doors will be open from 10.30am Saturday. Once in the building, please turn left and come up one flight of stairs to the circus entrance.
  At this point, the security team from Blackpool Tower will conduct a bag search for all guests (please see venue information notes re food/drink policy)
  After the bag search, you will then be invited to join the main entry queue ready for the Ballroom doors opening. These doors will open from 11.15am Saturday.
• Once the initial queues at the start of each day have been admitted into the Ballroom, the circus queuing system will be closed and all guests arriving later should come straight up the 2 flights of stairs to the Ballroom entrance.
• All competitors and spectators need a ticket (wristband) to enter the ballroom. There will be no replacements for lost/forgotten wristbands. Please make sure all tickets are secured to your wrist BEFORE you enter the Blackpool Tower.

Seating

• Fever will be sat in one area of the tower, on the ground floor and overflow on the second balcony. The ground floor is for those competing in each section. Those who have arrived early to watch friends/younger siblings we ask that you use the balcony seating.
• Please check in with a member of Fever staff when you arrive so they can note your arrival time down.
• We will be reserving the first 2-3 rows of our seating for COMPETITORS ONLY. This is to stop us using the area in front of the seating for dancers but make sure we can still sort recalls for all dancers. Please do not sit on the first 3 rows as a non competitor or if you section has not started/finished.
• Once seated get dressed into your outfit, please use the toilets provided. Changing in the ballroom is not permitted. Once dressed see a staff member for your solo number. You will keep your number on until you finish your solo section.

Recalls

• Recalls for solos will be via the organisers microphone on stage and/or via WhatsApp. Fever staff will organise all children for recalls. Please make sure your child is sat with their pom poms on the allocated seats for the dancers.  We understand children will need the toilet but try and avoid taking them around the recall time.
• Solo Presentation
  – After each solo/duo/fusion final has been danced they will present the finalist’s with their trophies this is to speed up the day. We kindly ask you walk round the edge of the dance floor when going to take photographs for presentation. This should only be after ALL places have been called.
• Team Presentation
  – Please kindly let Fever staff members take a photograph of each team before parents rush to the front.
• Food & Drink
  – The tower does not allow food and drink (except x1 500ml sealed bottle of water per person). If you are going to try and take food into the ballroom, please be prepared for your bag to be searched.
• Questions
  – Any questions please ask a member of Fever staff and refrain from contacting Cheer Dance UK. We have direct contact with the organisers should we need to ask any questions on your behalf.
• Videoing
  – Only videoing of your child’s solo’s is permitted. Please DO NOT video any team. A member of the Fever team will be in charge of team videos.

WE ARE VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER CHEERLEADING WEEKEND WITH ALL OUR DANCERS!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE
