Mascot Etiquette: Dos and Don’ts for Mascot Performers
Mascot performers should understand the role of a mascot, which represents an organization’s spirit and values. They must maintain high energy levels, use clear non-verbal communication, and be respectful to the audience. Physical safety is crucial during activities, and character integrity should always be maintained unless necessary. Hydration and comfort are important due to the physically demanding nature of the costume. Finally, performers should follow their organization’s guidelines for interactions and behaviors. By adhering to these principles, mascot performers can create positive experiences for everyone involved.
