TALENT SHOW RULES

1.         Each student is limited to two acts. Each performance can only last 2 minutes in order to qualify.

            2.         Students must audition (try out) in front of the judges in order to be in the talent show.

                3.         For students who are singing: you can sing with an accompaniment CD or Karaoke CD, or have someone

                        accompany you on an instrument.    You can also sing without any music.

4.         Only 15-20 acts can be chosen for the talent show because of time restrictions.  

5.         For students who tell jokes or read a poem, or act out a skit: you must give a copy of the words to the judges, and you must perform the same jokes or poem or skit for the talent show.  You may not change your routine.

                6.         If you wear a costume or use props, you must be responsible for them, and outfits must be appropriate for school.

HOW DO THE JUDGES DECIDE?

Quality – Are the dancers on beat, the singers on pitch, do they know their routine?        

Readiness – Are the students ready to go with their act, do they have their music and props ready etc.?

Complete – Does the act have a complete thought or theme to share?

Artistic - Does the act show creativity or artistic expression in some way?

If you have any questions, please talk to Mrs. Murray in the music room or call at 758-2553.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!
