SCHEDULE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
Because we do not limit the number of competitors at the QMJC, this schedule may be adjusted prior to the event or during the course of each day. Please note that the times listed on the schedule are a guide and we recommend you remain in the Ballroom before and after your events where the MCs will be announcing frequently what will be coming up and any changes to the schedule.

TECH REHEARSALS
Like previous years, the tech runs will be in a quick run format where you will all be in the Ballroom at the same time as other performers rather than gathering and waiting outside for your turn.
Each showcase and team will have just 10 mins on the main floor with your music.   You will run in order of event.

Showcase and Teams events are split over the Saturday and Sunday of the QMJC event.  Showcase will be on Saturday night and Teams will be on Sunday night.  This allows us the ability to give the Showcase entrants a little more time for their tech runs as we’ve split it to a morning shift and a lunch shift.  There were 12 Showcases and 5 Teams in 2018, which indicates how busy the event is, so please be on time.

Showcase performers will meet in the foyer 15 minutes before your scheduled tech run.

Team performers will meet on Sunday in the foyer 15 minutes before your scheduled tech run.

The order and times will  be posted in the Facebook group and on the official Ignite page.

For your reference, the rehearsal times are here as a guide and subject to change due to registration changes occurring after the closed date.  This will be the order of performances on the Saturday and Sunday nights except where it says ‘tech run only’ as those couples are being scheduled based on flight arrivals and other extenuation circumstances.

Showcase 2019 – Saturday early morning tech run.

Showcase 2019 – Saturday lunchtime tech run.

Teams 2019 – Sunday lunchtime tech run.
