4. All talent performances must take place on the stage.

6. Please make sure that any lyrics are appropriate for performance at the school.
7. Performance previews will take place during the student's designated Performing Arts classes on
Monday thru Wednesday 22, 23, and 24 MAY. The previews will help me to get an idea
of the acts that we will be seeing during the Talent Show, and provide an opportunity for feedback to
enhance their onstage performance. Each performance must be rehearsed/planned prior to the preview.
What we see in class should be what we will see onstage. Make sure to bring any props, costumes, and
music CDs or MP3s you may be using. (MP3s are preferable).
