| Author: | Kevin Wood | |||
| School: | Central Valley | |||
| NSAA District: | 4 | |||
| Proposal for: | Activities Manual | |||
| Classes Affected: | All | |||
| Activities Affected: | Play Production | |||
| This proposal: | WILL NOT increase costs to the school WILL NOT increase costs to the NSAA WILL NOT increase travel for participating schools WILL NOT decrease a student's or coach's instruction time | |||
| Implementation date: | 2027-08-01 | |||
| Sections affected in Activities Manual: | Page 27 | Article | Section | |
| Summary: | A play will be dropped a rank by the technical judge on the technical ballot if a school exceeds 15 minutes during the setup and takedown of the set. The school is free to split the time as needed to have an effective load-in and load-out of the stage. This will be added to the NSAA Play Production Technical Ballot, judging manual, and coaching manual. | |||
| Rationale: | Play production contests cannot be run effectively due to schools ignoring the 15 courtesy load-in and load-out suggestion. Play production contests are then off schedule due to this blatant disregard of this courtesy. The technical elements of the performance need more cut-and-dry rules to run an effective play production tournament. | |||
| Pros: | Play production contests will run on time, respecting everyone’s time who attends and competes | |||
| Cons: | N/A | |||
