**Parent tip - if you are coming to the competition, try to get a schedule of events once you arrive and have your student mark the events they will be participating in.  Then you will get a good idea of when you want to be in attendance.  Seating is in a high school gym with standard bleachers.  They can get uncomfortable as the day goes on.
The food at the competition is high school-basketball-game-concession-type fare.  Think nachos and soda.  There are grocery stores and fast food places in Rexburg for more variety in food choices.
