CRITERIA: What it takes to get in! Who gets to perform?

  1. Grades K-5 Only

  2. ENSEMBLE (group) acts preferred

  3. ORIGINAL acts preferred: your own lyrics, choreography, idea, rather than performing someone else’s music/choreography

  4. UNIQUE genres preferred
    Harder to get in: Singers and dancers, especially hiphop and pop.
    Easier to get in: Musicians, magicians, comedians, gymnasts, martial artists, yoyoists, puppeteers, skits

  5. “EXPERTS”: Performers should be prepared to demonstrate knowledge of their act: Who is the original performer? Who is the songwriter? Who were their influences? What else do you know about the genre?

    PRO TIP: If you’re singing a cover, consider a “karaoke” recording without vocals, so we can hear your voice, and not the original singer’s voice.
