A Variety of Skill Levels Offered in Several Divisions!
Novice, Intermediate and Advanced
Location:
The location once again will be the beautiful Anaheim Convention Center with the Hilton Anaheim Hotel as the host hotel. This hotel is walking distance to the competition site and provides convenient access to all areas of the Disneyland® Resort.
All competition will be held at the Anaheim Convention Center, and/or surrounding facilities. Preliminary competition begins on Friday. Competition continues throughout the day on Saturday with finals on Sunday. Days and order of competition are subject to change pending final Spirit Nationals registration. This includes the day(s) scheduled for Finals competition.
Music:
In efforts to comply with music licensing rules, all music for USA High School Spirit Nationals must be registered with ASCAP, BMI or a combination of ASCAP and BMI should you qualify and choose to participate in the 2016 USA Spirit Nationals event. A combination of ASCAP or BMI with any other agency will not be permitted (i.e. ASCAP and EMI will not be allowed.) European titles are not allowed. Each song needs a registration number from ASCAP or BMI, not a license. Check the following two websites to see if your music is registered with ASCAP or BMI:www.ascap.com and www.bmi.com.
Qualification:
All spirit squads are eligible to participate in the 2016 USA Spirit Nationals, regardless of what summer camp they choose to attend. Prior qualification through a USA Regional, Classic or other sanctioned event/process is required to attend Spirit Nationals.
2016 High School Spirit Nationals bid packet links available here. Note: Deadline for hotel packages is January 30, 2016. Rooms will be booked on a first come, first served basis. The hotel room block may be filled before the deadline.
Awards:
All performers receive a participation trading pin and sponsorship “give-aways.” Trophies or plaques are awarded to the top teams in each division. Individual medallions are awarded to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams in each division. An exclusive “Champion” gift is awarded to the first place competitors in each division and a “National Champion” banner awarded to the first place team in each division.
