No two acts can use or perform the same song. Priority will be given to the act that first completes their online Talent Show Packet

Pirate Parent Agreement This is a community effort and we need all hands-on deck!! We ask Pirate Parents to ensure:
Performers attend all assigned rehearsals and shows on time
Parents volunteer three hours toward the talent show (flexible as to place and time, can be at rehearsals, days of shows, behind the scenes, or prep)
Auditions
Every child will be required to audition their act on January 15th or 16th during a specific time slot between 3:00 and 5:30pm
All students who audition will be a part of the show
Auditions are held to check for appropriateness of content. This is decided by the Talent Show Committee and the Principal. All decisions are final
Acts do not have to be 100% complete for the audition. The concept and music must be decided
Rehearsals
Rehearsals will be scheduled according the section of the show in which your child participates
Show sections and rehearsal times will be determined AFTER auditions
Your child is required to attend all of their section’s scheduled rehearsals
Acts are required to prepare and rehearse their acts at home between scheduled rehearsals
Rehearsals are closed. Only the performers, office approved volunteers assigned to the show, and staff are allowed to be present
Students must be picked up on time. In order to ensure the students’ safety, we have a sign-out procedure for which you will need to allocate time to come in and complete

Tech, Dress and Both Show Days:
Please send your child with water and a snack for these days and for show days. They tend to get hungry during rehearsals and we don't have snacks to provide. For show days we will have some snacks, and water to refill their own water bottles. Consider packing a sandwich if you think a light snack won't be enough for them
A quiet activity (book, or a puzzle etc) may help them pass the time. No electronics please!!! Parent volunteers are not able to monitor what the kids are looking at
