Participation Rules

• All students are welcome to audition. Performances will be evaluated for appropriateness, quality, and duration (no longer than 3:00 minutes). You will need to submit lyrics for any music (vocal or background) in order for us to judge the appropriateness of the content of the selected song. Students will be given feedback at the first audition and may be asked to come back for a second audition in order for us to select the best, most prepared talent. There is NO guarantee that if you are asked to come back for a second audition that you will be chosen to perform the night of the show. There will be volunteer opportunities for students who are not selected or who want to participate but not perform.

• Please come prepared. If you are not prepared for your audition, YOU WILL NOT BE SELECTED. Please visit the talent show link on the Sequoya Website to see the complete requirements and helpful hints for auditions/participation in the talent show. Be sure to bring either sheet music (an accompanist will be available) or a recorded track (WITHOUT VOCALS – aka karaoke track) to your audition. Please see Mrs. Smith or the Sequoya Website link to see how you can obtain either of these. There will be coaching available to students needing help polishing and perfecting their routines.

• If you wish to participate in the talent show, you must be available to rehearse after school on Wednesday, February 27^th and Thursday, February 28^th. We need to make sure that the technical aspects of the show will run smoothly and we need all performers to be there. Additionally, we will be rehearsing the finale at these rehearsals.

• All performers must stay for the entire show and the finale. If you are unable to do so, you will be asked not to participate.
