The following are recommendations based on years of experience and feedback from our customers to help keep your performers at their best.

• Drink lots of non-carbonated fluids to stay hydrated.
• Take regular breaks. Be sure to get away from the public and fully remove the mascot head every 20 –30 minutes to get fresh air. In extreme heat we do not recommend staying in costume for more than 15-20 minutes at a time.
• Stay in constant motion and exaggerate your moves.
• ALWAYS remember to stay in character while in costume and uphold a positive image.
• Get involved with the fans but remain respectful to everyone around you.
• Remember you are always in the spotlight when in costume and eyes are always on you- constantly look for opportunities to entertain.
• Develop your own traditional mascot activities. (a walk, cheer, dance, clap)
• Consider props. (over-sized sunglasses, hat, different shirt, cape, seasonal attire)
• Make sure the costume is clean and in good shape before every performance.
• Try to check out the venue ahead of time, checking for any potential hazards.
