Awards and the GRAND FINALE!
The goal of the FINALE is to move forward to the final day ‘GRAND FINALE’. While there are no placement awards (bronze, silver, gold, high gold, platinum, diamond) at the FINALE, we will be placing the following routines regardless of enrollment numbers:

SOLOS - Top 10
DUO/TRIOS and GROUPS - Top 5

The top placing routine in each division will move on to their final performance of the season in the GRAND FINALE on the final day. The top 3 soloists at the Advanced and Elite divisions will all perform in the GRAND FINALE, with placements announced during the final awards presentation
