What is the Watch & Learn Bracelet?
Expert instructors are brought in from all over North America to teach the latest tips, tricks and training techniques for every aspect of competitive cheerleading and dance. There are new classes each hour. A watch & learn bracelet allows you access to all classes at the CheerExpo for the entire weekend. Athletes and coaches of competing teams automatically get passes to all classes included in their competition registration. But what if your team is not competing? What if you are not on a team at all? Then the Watch & Learn Pass is for you! It is your all access pass to everything that makes CheerExpo unique!
Will I have to purchase separate spectator passes?
No. Watch & Learn bracelets are spectator passes too.
Can I purchase a Watch & Learn Bracelet for one day only?
No. The bracelets are only sold as a two day package. Of course, that does not mean that you have to attend both days.
How do I sign up for classes?
Classes are first come, first served. There is no advance registration per class. One week before the event, the class schedule will be posted on the website along with the complete competition schedule. Figure out which teams you can’t miss and which classes you want to attend. During the event, just show up a few minutes early for each class to make sure you get in. And make sure you leave time to browse the CheerExpo shopping mall with exhibitors from all over the world selling everything cheer and dance! See last years' class topics
Who can purchase Watch & Learn Bracelets?
Anyone (ages 5 and up) may purchase a Watch & Learn bracelet including parents, friends, school administrators, athletic directors, and anyone interested in becoming involved in the sport. The classes are designed to be informative to all age groups so whether you are 5 or 65, you will learn something. You can also purchase them as a gift for someone else. Please keep in mind that anyone 12 years of age or younger must be accompanied by an adult to the classes. The adult must also purchase a Watch & Learn bracelet and fill out a waiver form. If you are a team, the coach or parent designate must accompany the team to classes if members are 12 or under.
What is the cost?
Watch & Learn Bracelet cost is $35 plus tax (13%) if purchased before January 1st, 2009. After January 1st the cost is $45 plus tax.
How To Pre-Register for a Watch & Learn Bracelet:
Send a completed waiver form for each bracelet requested and a check or money order for the total amount plus 13% tax to: CheerExpo Tickets, 556 Deerwood Place, Comox, B.C., Canada, V9M 4G3.
All waiver forms MUST include provincial health care number and expiry date. Groups can use the attached registration form. All advance orders of Watch & Learn Bracelets must be received by March 1st. Otherwise, they will have to be processed at the event. Make check or money order payable to CheerExpo. In the subject line (Re:) please write Watch & Learn Pass.
NEW – No time to mail? Fax in your forms to (250) 890-0116 and pay with a credit card via paypal. Just add a 4% convenience fee to your order. Again, this must be done by March 1st, otherwise you will have to register at the event.
Picking up your bracelets:
- If you are an individual, you can request that your pass be mailed to you or you can pick it up at the registration desk during the event. Please indicate your preference on the back of your waiver form. Caution: There will be no refunds or replacements for lost passes.
- If you are purchasing watch & learn passes as a group, the coach of the team (or designated contact person of the group) will pick up the passes from the registration desk and distribute them to the group. The passes can be picked up any time during event hours or, on set up day (Friday March 27th) between 12 noon and 7pm. When the designated person picks up the passes, they must pick up all passes at once. Do not leave bracelets at the front desk "to be picked up". The door staff do not have enough time to look after this. This is your job. So you should either: a) delegate this job to someone who can stand at the door and wait for these people to arrive, or b) have a solid plan for your group to all meet at a certain time, then pick up the bracelets.
Wearing your bracelet:
Once you have your bracelets on your wrist, you do not have to worry about the registration line ups again. Each time you leave, just show security your bracelet before you re-enter. They must be worn at all times on the wrist. The passes should be put on tight enough so they do not slip off but not so tight that they cut off circulation. This is to prevent people from handing their passes to their friends to get in. Our main concern with this is that people who are not covered by our insurance policy could get into classes or the practice space this way. We must have a waiver form for each person in the class spaces so we have medical information on file in the event of an accident. They are waterproof so no need to worry about swimming in the pool at your hotel (if applicable). They should only come off if ripped or cut off. If this happens, you can get your bracelet replaced at the registration desk or the info booth but you must have the old one to pass in. If the old bracelet is lost, it will have to be re-purchased.
Class Space Rules:
- Absolutely no food or drink permitted in the Multi-purpose room (practice space) or the Maritime Hall (class space) except water). There is also no food or drink permitted on or around the competition floor or practice mats. This includes suckers. Most of the mats used in those rooms are donated to the event by teams and we don’t want juice/pop/ketchup/suckers, etc on them.
- No outside footwear is permitted in the class space or practice space! This includes coaches! If you only have outside footwear, please remove your footwear when entering the room and especially before walking on the mats.
