How to Participate
​

1. REGISTER for the talent show.  This involves filling out the google form that collects registration info, a student agreement and a permission slip, selecting an audition time and sending us your music. Everyone needs to register including 5th Grade dancers and commercial and interstitial performers.
   
2. AUDITION for the director. This is your chance to SHOW us your solo or group act you plan on performing in the talent show. Everyone who registers and “auditions” will be able to participate. Auditions are also 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.
3. REHEARSE. You will need to practice at home and attend all scheduled rehearsals.
4. PERFORM on stage on recording day!  Or RECORD yourself at home if you prefer.
5. WATCH the talent show with your family on the video release day! Take a bow and celebrate!
