Contest Statement on Double Entering: Double entering will not be allowed for pageant events (meaning you can only enter one level of pageant). Double entering IS allowed for other events (solo, basic, x-strut, two baton), but you must enter the level your twirler currently competes in as well as the next level up. *Please Note* If they win the next level up, they must move up to that level permanently for that event.
The program will be emailed out the week of the contest (typically on Wednesday evening). There will NOT be paper copies available at the contest, so please print out your own or download the PDF to your phone.
*Individual Music Submission*
Anyone entering an event with individual music (show twirl, rhythmic, UIL, team, collegiate twirl, freestyle, etc) must submit their music via email to ATXTwirlFest@gmail.com by November 25th. Music will only be played via pre-loaded music files We will not have a CD player or alternate playing option. This will prevent the need for sound checks or music malfunctions since all music will be able to be tested beforehand.

COVID STATEMENT & SAFETY PROCEDURES as of 10/1/22
Due to safety concerns related to COVID-19, in order to safely hold our event, there may be several procedures added to the 2022 ATX Holiday Twirl Fest Event. Failure to cooperate with these procedures by any twirling athlete or their accompanying parent or coach will result in the athlete being disqualified and removed from the competition with no refunds given. Please do not register if you do not agree to follow all procedures! *ALL PROCEDURES SUBJECT TO CHANGE*
1. As of right now, there will be no limits on spectators and mask wearing will be optional and up to the attendee. Should that change, all registered twirlers will be notified ASAP.
2. Attendees must recognize that by registering for the contest and entering the facility, they are assuming the risk involved with potential exposure to COVID-19. While the contest directors will uphold as many precautions as possible, attendees must understand that there is inherent risk with any activity that involves possible contact with other people.
3. Please note that while we have secured Hutto HS for this event, should the ongoing situation around COVID-19 change, we may have to introduce additional precautions or change the facility location, mask requirements, event schedule, or spectator options. There will be NO REFUNDS offered for any reason unless we cancel the competition. When you sign up you are agreeing that you understand this fact. Let us know if you have any questions!
