SDHSRA CONTESTANT BACK NUMBERS
Contestant back numbers will be included in your spring rodeo packets. This will be your permanent number throughout the entire rodeo season. Please wear this number to all your Practice High School Rodeos as well as the Regional Rodeos and State Finals. Two back numbers will be included for you to use for the entire season. You will receive a new set of numbers each spring to be used for that year’s season.
The numbers are made of a tough material, though you may choose to laminate them. If you choose to do so, please ONLY USE COLD LAMINATION. Hot lamination will melt the numbers.
The SDHSRA Board has agreed that if your number is torn, mangled, or otherwise destroyed and you have possession of it to turn it in, a new number will be provided to you at no cost. However, if you lose your number, it will cost you $10.00 to have that back number replaced. If you require a new number, please immediately contact:
Amy Johnson
Executive Secretary/Treasurer
13625 Rabbit Creek Place
Reva, SD 57651

605/890-2162
You will note that your back number corresponds with your NHSRA Membership number and this number will be your permanent number throughout your High School Rodeo Career! Please take care of your number!!
