The music player is in charge of playing the skater's competition music over the speaker system. The skater often has the music on their phone which is then connected to the speaker system by a dongle. The speaker system also has a CD player if a skater utilizes that. The skater must have on one of the vests (stored in the shed) to indicate they have priority on the ice. Once the skater is set and indicates they are ready, you may start their music. While that skater is working, determine who is next in line, get their music ready and have them get the other vest on so they are ready to go when first skater is finished. During the really busy practice times, it is recommended to take a sheet of paper and pencil to keep track of skating order. Ensure that all skaters get an opportunity and it is rotated fairly. There is also a space heater in the shed that can be utilized as it can be quite cold sitting there for 2 hours. Bring a blanket!
