Guidelines

1. This is an elementary school talent show. Please keep in mind the participants will range from ages 5 to 11. Music MUST be age appropriate, use good judgment when selecting an act (and while many current songs do not have the most age appropriate lyrics, there are plenty that DO. )

2. Costumes must meet school dress code requirements. If an exception needs to be made (especially in the dance routines), the costume must be pre-approved by the Talent Show committee.

3. All students must attend auditions and rehearsals. Attendance is MANDATORY.

4. While we appreciate parent help, the rehearsals will be closed to parents and friends unless they wish to join the Talent Show committee and help put on the event.

5. This is not a professional performance, but an elementary school Talent Show. It is an opportunity for all students to gain confidence and performing skills.

6. We strive to include as many acts as possible, however, if there are too many acts, we will have to select based on originality, preparation and variety. We ask all students to be creative. For example, if multiple students audition to sing the same song, students may be asked to change their song choice so we have a variety of acts.

7. The Talent committee reserves the right to have final say on music, performance, and attire.
