Can anyone point me to the page # in the rule book (US) that spells out the ins & outs of the new vocal music allowance? I found music I love for a bronze FS test, but it's vocals, so I want to be 1000% sure it's okay before we go crazy with choreography. I looked all through the new rulebook, and danged if I can find it!!

Thanks in advance.

It's really clear for testing:

Online Rulebook w/o diagrams: http://www.usfigureskating.org/Conte...20diagrams.pdf - page 14.
In the printed Rulebook, it's the same section (TR 28.04) on page 25.

CAVEAT:
If you want to use the same music for a competition, there are different rules.
Online Rules of Sport: http://www.usfigureskating.org/Conte...of%20Sport.pdf - page 47.
In the printed Rulebook, it's the same section (3500) on page 213.

We had a discussion about the competition side earlier this year.
We agreed that adult events were allowed to use vocals as long as the event wasn't judged under IJS.

Yep, based on the rules that have been published, as long as your event is judged under 6.0 (and for Adult Bronze and Silver, it will be), you can have lyrics in your music.
