GTB TWEED HEADS

AGE CUT OFF - Age is based as at March 20, 2020. This was the date we stopped operation. If you are transferring from events after this date please let us know the correct age group.

PROGRAM

Please ensure to check the program draft and make sure your child is in the correct age group (age is based on the start day of each regional for solos, duos, trios. Also check for spelling and correct styles. email audio@getthebeat.com.au if you see any issues. Program will be released once we fill the event.

MUSIC

audio@getthebeat.com.au will ask for you to upload your music into your dropbox prior to each competition, an email will be sent 1 week before the start date once programs have been numbered. If you have entered multiple GTB Regionals you will need to do this for EACH regional as the competitor numbers will be different for each one. Your dropbox is the same folder you will receive your judges audio feedback once the competition is done. We will announce when we have sent these out and you will put your music in labelled the following way – ACT NUMBER-NAME-STYLE (eg 15-DAN GOURLAY-JAZZ) WE DO NOT PLAY CD’S AT GTB EVENTS

MISS/MR SECTIONS 2020

These sections are all about Entertainment and wowing the audience. The Judges will look for Stage presence, impact and wow factor – and of course amazing costuming. Scoring is 30% technique and 70% entertainment for this section and you are welcome to repeat a dance you have done in your section already. You cannot enter these sections on the day at the events.

JUDGES AUDIO FEEDBACK

These will be placed into your dropbox folder (the same you will use for your music upload)

ARRIVAL

Doors will open approx 30 minutes to one hour before start time each day. Please check program and arrive a good time before your child is scheduled to dance.

VIEWING

Viewing for Solo/Duo/Trio comps are FREE, bring a cheer squad and cheer loud for your dancer! For Groups there will be a small door charge to allow for the vastly more space we need at each venue and the growing costs.

PHOTOS/VIDEOS

These will all be instant and can be purchased at the event itself FOR MOST REGIONALS. contact Pointe Shoot Love for photos and Gypsy Leigh Productions for videos. We will let you know if Photos/Videos are available at Tweed.

AWARDS – new system in 2020!!

We will have “mid-session” awards for larger age groups just for the sections, dancers will still need to come back at the end to collect overall awards if necessary.

New rule going forward – If you are not present for your awards – you do not receive them. Please nominate someone else to collect on your behalf, we will not go back through and find what you didn’t collect after awards have been completed on stage.

NEW REGIONAL AWARDS SYSTEM All solo sections: 1st place: Custom GTB Trophy, 2nd/3rd place: GTB Custom Mega Medal 4th place onwards (eg everyone else in the section): Custom GTB medallion to match awarded score ranking given by the judge HIGH GOLD (0-80) PLATINUM (81-90) DBL PLATINUM (90-95) DIAMOND (95-100) (BLACK DIAMOND AWARDS ARE EXCLUSIVE TO GTB FINALS)

• PLATINUM will qualify you for National Finals Competition at GTB Finals
• DBL PLATINUM will qualify you for National Finals Competition at GTB Finals plus the prestigious Champion of Champions
• DIAMOND will qualify you for National Finals Competition at GTB Finals plus the prestigious Champion of Champions

TOP 5: If you make the Top 5 of your age group you qualify for TOP 5 DANCE OFF at GTB Finals + Champion of Champions (if not already qualified) TOP 10: MAY qualify for Champion of Champions also – but only under Adjudicator discretion

If a dancer receives different score rankings for different solos (eg HIGH GOLD for Lyrical and PLATINUM for Tap) it will come down to the teachers discretion and consultation with GTB Directors as to what level to compete at finals.

All CHAMPION of CHAMPION qualifiers MUST enter the top level of competing at GTB FINALS
