IMPORTANT NOTES
Age restrictions: Audience members must be at least 7 years old.
Use of images: Audience members are participating in a studio broadcast. As such, the appearance of audience members will be broadcast on television and distributed in all manner and media. Therefore, all audience members who attend the debate automatically give their consent to allow their images to be used.
Dress: The attire for the taping is casual. Clothing featuring school names and logos, or town names and logos is encouraged. However, as a public television station, we need to be sensitive to anything that could be considered advertising, therefore clothing with prominent commercial logos or slogans will not be permitted in the studio.
School Spirit: Fans are encouraged to exhibit school and community pride with banners, signs, face paint and by wearing school colors.
Confidentiality: High School Quiz Show programs are taped in advance of their broadcast. It is in the best interest of the program to keep the results private until they are broadcast. By entering the studio or theater, you agree to the confidentiality agreement posted at the entrance of these spaces.
Cell Phones: Cell phones can interfere with studio microphone audio frequencies. You will be asked to turn your phone off during the taping.
Bags: To ensure the safety of WGBH volunteers and guests, visitors are required to check in personal belongings. It is best to keep valuables at home or locked in your car. All items are subject to be screened by security upon arrival.
Photographs: No photograph or recording devices are allowed during the taping. At the discretion of WGBH, use of these devices may be permissible prior to the taping.
Cancellation: Demand for seats is high and we want to include as many people as possible. We also must have a full studio audience for a successful production, so we ask that you make every effort to attend the taping you signed up for. If circumstances arise and you must cancel, please call us immediately at 617-300-5400, Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm.
Conduct: To promote a fair competition, shouting or signaling answers to team members by audience members, whether intentionally or otherwise, is strictly prohibited. WGBH reserves the right to warn and/or remove any member(s) of the audience suspected of committing misconduct, including disruptions or other behavior that may give a team an unfair advantage. In addition, to encourage a positive atmosphere and foster good sportsmanship, audience members are asked to not engage in conduct that may incite players or audience members, nor publicly criticize other teams, players, coaches or High School Quiz Show staff during the competitions and tapings.
