Can the music be continuous between the 30 seconds of animation and the credits?

I've never been able to find a definite answer on this, but since the judging will take place online, the credits will be shown should the judges choose to watch that far. At the competitions last year, they were showing the animations in the pits on a few screens duiring lunch, and they cut those off before the credits. I can't think of any reason that it would DQ the animation, but I'd contact someone about it to get an official answer. Dave might be able to tell you, but I don't know.
