| STADIUM ENTRANCE, PICTURES & INTERVIEWS This will be your first impression on the judges, and audience Your stadium entrance needs to include a simple intro routine. This routine should be equivilant to Jackson States "Get Ready" Routine. Just a simple intro to showcase your team, and to get the judges, and crowd talking. After you leave the floor from you Entrance routine, you will then be lead (marching) back towards the photo area, where your team will take pictures. Each Team will get three Poses, Each Head and co-head will take one head shot. Also during this time, we will be doing a short interview with a spokesperson from your team.

| WELCOME, KNOWLEDGE OF BASIC JSETTE CADENCES, & STAND ROUTINE BATTLE All teams will be placed strategically around the dance floor, as each team prepares for the stand routine battle. Special guest(s) Jsette will lead this competition off by throwing basic Jackson State University 8 and 16 counts. The Guest will throw, The Heads will catch, the co-heads will catch, and then the Line. (Footage of those basic Jsettes count can easily ound on youtube, There is also some footage below) This knowledge of Jackson State Counts will, revolve into each teams Stand routines. This routines must be between 8 - 32 counts. Keep in mind these are stand routines. If a judge feels that a routine couldn't be performed in the stands, the judge will deduct points. As in all Official Jsette Connection Events, the rotation will be counter clockwise. One of the Judges (or myself) will point off the first team in the competition, and the direction of the rotation (for those that may be confused), and the judging will began from that point until the judges feel that adequate counts have been thrown, and they can properly score your team on the content that you provided. After the judges are satisfied with the presented materials, all teams will exit in preperation for the HALF-TIME EVENT. (This exit will also be part of your score, so please showcase your marching style during the exits from each of the categories.) |

| HALF-TIME |
| HALF-TIME, YOUR TIME TO SHINE This will be the cream of the crop performance for your team. This will be the routine that the judges will be looking for you to excecute as if your life dependent on it. The Judes sheet or this event alone will include: |
| RHYTHM ORIGINALTY ENDURANCE KICKS |
| TEAM SYNC FACIAL EXPRESSION CROWD REACTION UNIFORM |
| The max time for this routine is 4 min. Please make sure you include an outro or this routine. If the routine ends with a freeze, make sure your team has a plan on how they will leave from their pose, and exit the floor. This routine will be closely timed, at exactly 4 min, your music will be stopped. PLEASE HAVE YOUR MUSIC PREPARED AND ON CD, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THE TRACK IS THE ONLY TRACK ON THE CD TO AVOID CONFUSION WITH WHICH TRACK IS YOUR NUMBER.

| BAR-B-Q / SEMINAR After the last team has completed their haltime performance, the venue will be set up for a seminar, sponsored by the Birmingham MPowerment Project. During the change in setting, teams will be allowed to change into something more comfortable, as we wind down from the days event. Food and refreshments will be served, and you will be able to enjoy the food, while the seminar is taking place. (The Birmingham MPowerment Project is a non-profit group dedicated to empowering young gay and bisexual men's lives. Many young gay/bisexual men are frustrated with their local gay communities because there are few places to go to meet other young men like themselves.) All teams will be required to make it back to their seats in time for the M-Group presentation, Points will be deducted from the team's over-all score, as well as for sportsmanship if the team members are not in place as scheduled.
