Here are some important dates and information for you to remember:
SHOW:  Thursday, March 29. 
There will be a 9:15 and 1:15 show. The line-ups will be posted for these shows by Monday, March 26. Check back here to see which show your child will be performing in.
FORMS DUE:  Wednesday, March 13.
If your child would like to participate in this year’s Talent Show, they need to fill out the Audition sheet located outside the music room door and return it to me no later than Wednesday, March 13.  Auditions times will be assigned and posted by Monday March 18.
AUDITIONS:  March 19-21 during lunch recesses.  Audition times will be assigned and posted and a note will go home as well.  Students need to bring all of their props, costumes, CD’s, instruments, etc… to the audition in order to be considered.  They need to be performance ready at the audition.
DRESS REHEARSAL:  Wednesday, March 28
This will be a mandatory rehearsal for all performers immediately afterschool.  This is important in order to have students know where they will go on stage, how to go off, and check our sound levels for CD’s and microphones.  If your child has a sports or other committment, its possible we can have them go first.  Otherwise, we will perform the show in order.  More details will come home with this year’s performers.
Please review all of the rules below:

Talent Show Rules:

  • Performers must be in grades 3rd – 5th
  • Acts must be 2 minutes or less in length (We can fade out song at 2 minutes if necessary)
  • All acts must be appropriate. Acts with suggestive or questionable lyrics, movements or costumes will not be allowed to perform.
  • Students must come to Audition PERFORMANCE READY. That means that you should perform as if it is the actual Talent Show. You must have all CD’s and props with you on the day of your audition in order to be considered.  If your music is an mp3/mp4, you can email it to me at abretz@hpseagles.net.

TO AUDITION to be an MC:

Please prepare 2-3 short jokes to tell. This gives us an idea of your stage presence. We will also ask you to read a cue card. MC’s will need to speak clearly and read cue cards before each act. If you are interested in MCing, please check the MC box on the reverse side.

Audition Forms Due WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14
