Eastvalley
Elementary School
Cafeteria
Ticket Prices:
$3 for Students & Senior Citizens over 65
$4 for adults and
free for pre-school age children.
Tickets will be sold in advance and at the door.
REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPATION (what I need to do to get in):
1. Reserve a time on the sheet outside the music room door and attend the audition on either March 26th or 30th after school. Try-outs are limited to the first 24 acts to sign up. You must be picked up by
3:45 PM
after your try-out and after rehearsals or you will be sent to the After School Program (ASP) and charged accordingly. (Make sure your child is registered for ASP and has paid the $10 registration fee if you plan to use this service).
2. Perform your whole act (3-4 minutes maximum) in costume at the audition. You will have two minutes to set up/ take down your materials. If using a soundtrack/music, you must use it in the audition.
3. Perform your act in costume at both rehearsals: April 16th and 17th (Thursday and Friday) from 2:15—3:30. Attendance at both rehearsals is required.
4. If using a soundtrack to sing/ perform with, it must not have the lead vocal/ instrument on it (no lip syncing or singing along with the voice on the recording). IE: you must use a Karaoke style recording without the solo voice part. You must use it at the sign-up audition.
5. The performance must be in good taste, have audience appeal, and show a genuine talent (ex: just standing on stage and reading the phone book is not appropriate). The faculty sponsors will determine audience appeal and appropriateness; there are no appeals.
6. Students must provide their own costumes, recordings and equipment for the audition and performance. The school will only furnish a cd player, cassette tape player, a piano, and three stand microphones on the stage.
7. Only 20 or fewer “featured acts” will be selected to perform their act in the talent showcase. Other students who try out but are not selected as a “featured act” may participate in the large-group finale.
8. Only current Eastvalley students (K-5) are eligible to participate—parents may assist but no other students from other schools.
9. The sponsors may add other rules or restrictions as deemed necessary.
