7th Annual Talent Show - Friday, March 8, 2024
Please join us as the students of MTES showcase their talents at our annual talent show! This event is open to students in 3rd and 4th grade.
In an effort to include as many students as possible, we strongly encourage group acts. Get together with as many friends or classmates as possible. Each participant may sign up for only one act (individual or group).
Performances are to be a maximum of two minutes in length. If your act includes music, please be sure it is age-appropriate (Pre-K to 4th grade). All songs will be reviewed for length and content.
If you would like to participate in the talent show, please read the attached participant information sheet, complete the signup form and return it to Dr. Panetta or Mrs. Porrovecchio no later than Friday, February 9th. ALL MEMBERS of a group act MUST submit a form.
