We are excited to invite all current 3rd, 4th & 5th grade PS10 students to participate in the PS10’s Got Talent show on Friday March 27th at 6:00pm in the auditorium! PS10’s Got Talent is designed to encourage students to share their talents with their peers in a supportive environment. This is a showcase, not a competition. Great creative! Join up with a group of your classmates and show the PS10 community what you’ve got!

Ideas for Acts:

Singing groups or solo (no lip syncing) Band or solo instrument performance Dance/Breakdance Routine Drama skit/Monologue/Spoken word Comedy Magic Tricks Sports/Martial Arts demonstration Gymnastics Rapping Your unique talent!

The Process for Students in 3rd, 4th & 5th Grades:

1. Pick a talent to showcase. Decide if you will do a solo or group performance or submit a piece of artwork. 4th Graders may instead opt to join the stage crew. 5th Graders may opt instead to audition for an emcee role or join the stage crew. Performers: group acts are strongly encouraged to allow us to showcase as many students as possible.

2. Read through the list of rules, fill out the Permission Slip and Registration Form and submit

them to the PTA room or email to ps10talent@gmail.com. All students MUST get their parent/guardian’s signature on the form to participate. Forms are due by Fri February 6th.

3. If performing, audition at your confirmed time (details on the Registration Form). All acts

should be complete, well-rehearsed, appropriate for a school setting and under 3 minutes. The act you audition with must be the act that is performed at the final show.

4. If submitting artwork, submit your piece to the auditorium during one of the audition times. 5. Attend the dress rehearsal on your confirmed date in the PS10 auditorium. The first half of

the show will rehearse Tuesday March 24th from 4.30 to 6.30pm. The second half of the show will rehearse Wednesday March 25th from 4.30 to 6.30pm. The show line up will be confirmed after all auditions take place and your dress rehearsal date will be confirmed by email.

PS10’s Got Talent Rules

1. All acts, artwork, costumes and content should be appropriate for an elementary school setting. If the lyrics, dancing, clothing, etc. are not appropriate, the act will not go beyond the audition.

2. Due to time constraints, students may participate in only one category—either a solo performance, a group performance or showcase artwork. 4th graders may choose instead to be a stagehand. 5th graders may choose instead to be an emcee or a stagehand. All acts must be 3 minutes or less. *Group acts and acts under 3 minutes are encouraged so we can include as many students as possible.

3. Performers are required to attend one audition and their designated dress rehearsal to be included in the final

show. The act you audition with must be the same as the act you perform at the dress rehearsal and final show. No late auditions and no exceptions. 4th & 5th grade Stage Crew and 5th grade Emcees are required to attend both dress rehearsals.

4. Students are strongly encouraged to choose unique songs to perform so as not to have several renditions of

the most popular songs. Song lyrics/poetry/scripts/jokes etc. must be submitted for review by the time of their audition—either at the audition or emailed beforehand to ps10talent@gmail.com.

5. PS10’s Got Talent can provide the following for auditions, dress rehearsals and show: piano, keyboard, drum

kit, microphones, music stands, chair, small table and tumbling mats. All other instruments/ props/ costumes needed for the act must be brought by the performer to the audition, dress rehearsal and show. We are not able to store your items, so please make sure to bring them to each date. And please label everything with your name! (The committee and volunteers are not responsible for items that go missing).

6. No “lip sync” routines will be allowed. If singing, accompanying music must not have lead vocals. (For

example, if singing a Katy Perry song, Katy Perry’s voice should not be heard.) Karaoke/instrumental tracks are available online for most songs. Students must provide a copy of their music at the auditions either on CD or able to be copied onto a laptop.

7. Artwork will be hung by binder clips. If you prefer not to have your piece hung directly by binder clips, please

mount it in a way that allows room at the top for hanging. Artwork will be returned after the event so please label it with your name and class number.
