My program has some salchows, a few waltz-toe combinations, a waltz jump -loop, and a camel. Does this sound pre-bronzish? I guess I can chalk it up to a learning experience if the other skaters are way more advanced, but my coach has not been to an adults only event yet either. Thanks anyone.

I'm sure you won't look as foolish as I did at my first event!
However, that was long ago...

No, you won't look foolish. You may find that there is a very wide range of ability in the pre-Bronze class, ranging from those who are only just pre-Bronze, to those who would be Bronze if they could only pass their Field Moves - and the very occasional person who probably could, but hasn't yet got round to trying, for whatever reason.

The thing to remember is that you can't control what the other skaters do, and you can't control what the judges think, so all you can do is go out there, skate as well as you can, and have fun!
