Variety Show Auditions 4/25
McNear PTA Newsflash
AUDITIONS ARE THIS THURSDAY
Variety Show auditions are this Thursday after school in the multi from 3:00pm-4:30pm.
You probably saw the blurb in last week's newsletter with the list of dates for participation, including audition information above, but I incorrectly listed the tryout date in the "Upcoming Events" section at the end of the newsletter. My apologies to any parents who are caught off guard by this! It's a busy time of year and I missed that one.
Info will be going home tomorrow in Wednesday packets, to sign up using the google form please see below.
The Variety Show is McNear’s annual showcase of student performed music, dance, comedy and theater. This year it will be held on Friday, May 17th at 7pm, with a school performance that will take place the same day at 9:00am. This event is open to any student, Kindergarten-6th Grade who dreams of performing up on stage and every prepared audition participant will be granted a place in the showcase.
Please fill out the google participation form by Thursday 4/25.

RECORDED MUSIC: If you are singing or dancing with background music, we ask that you email us the mp3 of the song ahead of auditions. Parents: please encourage your child to practice before trying out, so that they are prepared. If they are singing with background music, please choose a karaoke version of the song. No explicit lyrics or inappropriate content will be permitted. Email the Mp3 to Matt Richman: matt.richman@earthlink.net, subject: Variety Show + Your Child’s Name.
MOVIES: If you want to present an original short film we are asking that you provide written description of your concept so that we can give feedback and follow-up. We will need your completed film no later than Monday May 13th so that we can get it ready for the technical rehearsal.
If you are performing as duo or group, make sure that all participants are present to audition together and be as prepared as possible. We know you might not have all the kinks worked out, but we need to know what you are planning to perform! Meet up before auditions and practice!
