Have a student who likes to perform?
Acts should be between 30 seconds and 4 minutes in length, school appropriate, and entertaining.
We are only able to take 10-15 acts, so the auditions are very competitive and we are not able to have all interested students participate. Students who were selected for last year's talent show had spent many hours practicing to ensure that their audition was successful. If your student is planning to participate in the auditions, please help them to find the time to practice in advance of their audition.
All students will attend the talent show and parents of the performers will be invited to attend as well. Our auditorium will not hold more people than this, so we will video record the performance for others to see.
Dates
Information sent home with students the week of December 11-15.
Sign up for auditions the week of December 18-22
Auditions January 4-5
Talent show on Friday, February 2- THIS IS A DATE CHANGE
