Keep in mind that the number of registrations we receive and the number of Open Competition routines that are registered dictate the times on the schedule. Since the Early Bird Deadline is not until May 30, 2024, we have no way to accurately estimate the start and end times of any portion of the event until the release of the schedule on June 7, 2024.

In general, if you are registered for all 4 programs offered at Nationals, be prepared to arrive early in the morning and be finished later in the evening. Unlike the regional tour which is non-competitive, our Open Competition schedule is grouped by age and category (i.e. duet/trio, groups, etc.) so no scheduling requests can be accepted.
