OBJECTIVE

To provide an opportunity for Sub Junior teams to experience a taste of the stage prior to their first competition and to experience the fun and excitement of performing with their team. Taste of the Stage is also a fantastic introduction for new families to the Swan Park Theatre, our home of Calisthenics in WA. 

TEAM DRESS

• Teams wear training leotard only (black if possible). If performing aesthetic, teams to wear a training skirt over training leotard.
• Hair tied in a neat bun. No wiglet, makeup, lipstick, eyelashes or glitter. Please prepare hair prior to arrival as preparation time will be minimal prior to start time.
• Girls are encouraged to wear a scrunchie, ribbon or headband in club colours to assist coaches/ team managers and marshals.

PERFORMANCE ITEMS

• Teams may perform any two items of choice.
• House and back curtain may be used.
• Standard lights only – no special lighting, effects or blackouts.
• It is expected that items may not be complete or the team may require assistance. Coaches may stand at the side or front or walk around the team whilst performing to give the team more stage time. The aim is for the girls to have a positive experience on the stage. 
• Music to be uploaded backstage prior to the start of the concert.

PROGRAMME ORDER

• Stage Manager will introduce the concert objective and items will follow.
• We encourage teams to sit in the auditorium between items so they are able to learn ‘audience etiquette’ including watching attentively and applauding each item.
• At conclusion of items, teams will be presented on stage in Clubs.
