HAIR and MAKEUP for MTCA 2025
Passcode: ah2?7Qgq
LETS BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT EXPECTATIONS HERE…
You are all expected to start your comp day ready with your hair and makeup looking like this. Do not show up to the warmup still needing to apply makeup. Bring a lipstick to touch up but otherwise you need to be ready BEFORE the warm up starts. The following hair and makeup styles are what is expected at ALL competitions, not just MTCA. Caveat: if you are on dance team AND your dance team numbers are going up the same day as your theatre team numbers you do not have to change hairstyles between numbers, just stick with the dance team hair.
