A typical Onstage NY Competition is a 2 day event, Saturday and Sunday. Typically, we try to schedule all 12 & under entries on Saturday AM, some 13 & up entries on Saturday PM, and finish Sunday with the rest of the 13 & up entries. The optional master classes are always scheduled around the competition, and never occur concurrently. Onstage NY does reserve the right to extend any competition to a three day event- but never longer- thats a promise! A typical 3-day schedule will start on Friday afternoon after 3:00 PM. Onstage NY will turn-away registrations, regardless of postmark, in order to maintain our promise of a 3 day schedule. We strongly suggest that all paperwork AND fees be submitted as early as possible to insure acceptance of your entries. Please note that these are typical schedules, and ALL schedules are subject to change based on the number of entries received for a particular event.
