Hi everyone, My name is Ayanna Williams-Gaines, Director/Owner of Buffalo All Star Extreme (B.A.S.E). We would like to thank you so much for your interest in our 9th Annual “Are you Scared to Dance”. Please read all the information in its entirety so that we are all registration-ready.

Team Check-In

All teams must arrive and be checked in NO LATER than 3pm. Doors will open to the teams as early as 2pm and to the general public for entry at 3pm. Any team that arrives after 3pm will have an automatic 10 point deduction. NO EXCEPTIONS! It is imperative to arrive on time so that teams can walk the floor, get dressed, and be ready to compete. The show will start on time. The show WILL BEGIN at 4 pm sharp. We will have a short coaches meeting in the cafe at 3:30 pm. If you are absent a number will be drawn for you.

Showtime

The competition will begin promptly at 4 pm. All teams must be dressed and ready to hit the floor at 4 pm SHARP! We will not wait for any team to finish getting dressed. If your team has to be skipped for any reason, you will be eliminated from that category.

Music

Please upload all music files to a flash drive/USB/Jump drive. No CDs or music played from your cell phone will be allowed. This is to ensure that the music flows correctly throughout the show. Each coach will be required to be on standby with their music at the DJ booth when their team is up next.

Stand Battle music will be sent within 72 hours of registration

Categories

Combined Pom Pom
This category allows for the usage of Poms in a vast variety. Pom Poms must be used in 80% of the choreography. The routine must not exceed 4 minutes from intro to exit. Time will start as soon as the music begins. This category should be exciting and be filled with personality and cheerleader style choreography mixed with your team style and cheerleader competition styled music.

Combined Field Show
This category showcases majorette/hip hop/street jazz funk styled choreography that has an upbeat feel with high energy, formation changes, and an amazing variety of tricks. The routine must not exceed 4 minutes from intro to exit. Time will start as soon as the music begins.

Stand Battle (Mini) pre-k -3rd grade (jr) K-8 & (sr) 8-12th
Stands must be no more than  1 minute 30 seconds. We will be watching closely. Any team that goes over is automatically disqualified.Cleans will not count towards 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Note: We have no way of knowing how many stands you will need to prepare OVERALL however prepare 2 fast and 2 medium for EACH round of Battle. If we are in a time crunch and the competition runs over you may only be allowed to do 1 stand per round instead of 2. This will be at the discretion of Ayanna Williams-Gaines. Therefore, please be prepared. If in the event of a tie, there will be a 1 on 1 Captain’s Battle to break the tie.

This year we want to bring back the FUN in majorette comps. We will have an optional choreographer's challenge and possibly a few parent battles based on time. Trophies and Cash will be given as prizes
