Each
group is provided a homeroom as a base for your group and your belongings.
Please consider having an adult in the room at all times to watch over
your possessions. During your
performance we will provide an adult from Benton Community to watch over your
room.

Karaoke
Room! This year we are excited to
announce that we will again provide a Karaoke Room for your fun and
entertainment. We have many songs
available but encourage individuals to bring favorite music and plan on joining
in the fun. Be sure to sign up when
you arrive, limited space and time is available. This will not be happening all
day, just at certain times.
·
Your
group will have two hosts available to you throughout the day.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask them, if they don’t
know the answers, they will find out someone who does.
·
Our EMT
staff has asked us to put the word out to parents and encourage them to help
their kids stay hydrated and eat healthy the day of the contest. Ignoring this
results in dehydrated students fainting on stage who have consumed lots of sugar
that day, and not much water. There
will be a wheelchair back stage, and there will be a staffed EMT station on site
all day.
·
We ask
that you don't bring coolers, or your own food to our invitational.
This is our big fundraiser for the year.
We have tried to keep our prices low so that you can eat for a reasonable
price and food is how we make most of our money.
Thanks for your understanding

Pizza, Maid rites, Salad, veggies, nachos and much more.
Our food court will stay open throughout finals and for a short time
afterwards for students that have been performing in the evening finals.

town during the day, these are free and you are encouraged to use them.
