Contests - What to Expect
Local Competitions
Most local contests will be an all day event. We will provide food, snacks and water for the cadets. We ask parents to volunteer to help setup the tent, serve the food and help with whatever the cadets might need. Most contests have a preliminary and a finals round, so if our cadets make it to finals, they will be marching twice on contest day (so changes in and out of costumes a few times). Those are long but fun days! If you are going to hang out at camp during the day, be sure to bring a lawn chair and plenty of sunscreen!

Overnight Competitions
There is one overnight trip per year. Every other year, the trip is mandatory (2023-2024 was a mandatory trip year). For overnight trips, it will be 4 kids to a room and each kid will be assigned a chaperone. The chaperones will get phone numbers and the kids will need to check in with their chaperone or respond to their chaperone in a timely manner. Chaperones will be in separate rooms from the kids but they will do room checks every night to make sure everyone is in the room for the night. Depending on the location and situation, for meals and downtimes, the kids will be allowed to go out on their own (walking) as long as they are in groups of 3 or more and check in with their chaperone (the places are usually within a mile radius of the hotel). Sometimes the kids opt to go where the chaperones go, but not all the time. If you aren't comfortable with these guidelines, please be sure to let your cadet know so they know to stay with their chaperone or another adult when walking around, etc.
