Purses in Pattern

Effective with the 2020 convention, no purses of any size will be allowed in the pattern. All personal items must be in a ziplock quart sized bag. Freezer bags are the sturdiest and have a label area to write your name on it for identification.

We have struggled over the years with bags full of larger purses, water bottles, shoes, etc. to the detriment of our hostesses. We are fortunate enough to have our housing and competition in the same venue, with rooms being at the most 5 minutes away which allows a quick trip back to the room to pick up any items you might need after your quartet or chorus has competed.

At the beginning of the pattern, your chorus will be provided with the large purse bags in which to place your ziplock bags. Your chorus will carry those purse bags to the ballroom door at which time your hostess will take the bags from you. At the conclusion of your performance, the bags will be waiting for you on tables just outside the ballroom doors.

The Convention Committee thanks you for your understanding and willingness to help make our competition a great experience for all.
