Each February, we host our Annual Sycamore Talent Show. The Talent Show gives students an opportunity to share their talents and skills with an audience of friends and family. All students are able to participate and need only to “audition” to ensure their performance is well-planned and appropriate for our young audience.

This year, our show will be virtual via FlipGrid. Students will use Flipgrid (an app on their iPad) to upload a video of their act between February 10 and February 16. Mrs. Stanger will contact students if any revisions need to be made before the event. Video uploads must be .MOV, MP4 or .WEBM files. We do recommend preparing the videos with iMovie, or AppSmashing with apps like Chatterpix, Screencastify, or Adobe Spark BEFORE uploading them to Flipgrid.

On Sunday, February 21, we will open the FlipGrid Talent Show for the entire school family to enjoy.

Start planning now using the following guidelines:

· Students may appear in only one individual or group act. Accompaniment may be provided by those in your home.

· Joint acts with those outside your home can be done by editing separate videos into one.

· Acts are limited to 3 minutes maximum.

· All acts (lyrics, background music, spoken material, movement, dress, etc.) must be appropriate for elementary aged students.

· Parents will need to provide permission for students to submit a video.
