Exhibitions

As a Club member, athletes get access to competition simulation unavailable anywhere else: the opportunity to run a full program in front of an audience and build the focus and stress tolerance that real competition requires.

How Exhibitions Work

These rules apply to every exhibition.

  • Submitting the sign-up form is a request for a spot, not a guarantee.
  • A stratified, random draw determines the exhibition order, following a logical framework based on the number of athletes and their competition levels/disciplines.
  • Athletes may not ‘switch’ or ‘trade’ their placements with other athletes in the exhibition order.
  • Athletes performing in upcoming international or qualifying competitions may be given skate priority.
  • Athletes may only request a spot 3 weeks in advance.
  • The exhibition schedule is shared via email and should be checked frequently. Changes can occur after the skate order is sent out.

Scheduling Priority

When an exhibition reaches capacity, requests are ranked using the below framework.

Uploading Your Music

Steps to upload music to the Performance Center iPad
  1. Have a digital copy of your music available in the Files app on your iOS device. Delete past seasons' music to help manage iPad storage and make your file easy to find on exhibition day.
  2. Be in the direct vicinity of the Rink iPad.
  3. From Files, share the music file via AirDrop and select the iPad from the ‘Nearby Devices’ list.
  4. Your music appears in the iPad's Files app as soon as the AirDrop transfer completes.
  5. Android device, or want your files kept in the music database for future skating at the Club? Email the file(s) to music@scboston.org.

Waitlist and Cancellations

If there's a waitlist and you need to scratch, do it before close of business on the day preceding the exhibition (Summer: the day of the exhibition) to avoid a $25 cancellation fee to your Club account. Waitlisted athletes are ranked using the same priority framework above, so an early scratch clears a spot for the next athlete in line.
