Tryouts

​

• Every act must “Tryout.” The purpose of the tryout is to ensure your act follows the rules and that you’re able and ready to perform.

• IMPORTANT - because we will likely have to "Cut" performances, do NOT register if you or your child cannot handle being cut after sending in your tryout submission. Sorry, real life happens too. We just cannot have a 5 hour in-person performance that goes to midnight to accommodate everyone who wishes to participate.

• Tryouts will be held "virtually" this year by submitting a video of your performance. Videos must be submitted by Friday 2/3/23 at Midnight. Due to the volume of submissions and the work that has to be done for the show, this deadline will be strictly adhered to. NO EXCEPTIONS.

• Rules & Notes for Video Tryouts

  • Just as in-person tryouts - your video performance must closely replicate your actual performance especially in length / time.

  • You do NOT have to be in full costume or dress, but it helps both you and us so you might want to consider it. 

  • Directions for how to send your video will be provided later.

• Criteria for Performances - since we will have to limit the performances, the following guidelines are a guide:

  • Overall variety of the TYPES of acts across the entire show.

  • Overall age range distribution across the entire show.

  • No Duplication of songs.

​

Rules

• All performers must be currently enrolled at EBS.

• All acts must be family friendly.

• Number of Acts - A performer may be in only one (1) solo act but can be in multiple group acts.

• Time Limits - must be adhered to and will be strictly enforced due to the overall length of the show and the number of acts.

  • Solo acts must be NO longer than ONE (1) minute

  • Group acts must be NO longer than TWO (2) minutes.

• Act / Submission Limits - Due to the growing popularity of the show, we must limit the number of acts to fit within the time we have allotted for actual performances. The number of acts will depend on how many Solo vs. Group acts we have try-out. Therefore, some acts *may* not make the cut.

• Music/Songs - You MUST supply your own music/song edited down to 1 or 2 minutes. The song file (mp3, wav or mp4). Details on providing songs will be provided at a later date.

• Rehearsal - All acts MUST attend in-person mandatory dress rehearsal on Thursday, February 23, 2023 from 3:00pm-6:00pm

• We photograph and videotape much, if not all, of the show, including some of the rehearsal. By allowing your child to perform in the show, you grant EBS and the AFP permission to publish photographs and videos taken during these events on the school’s and AFP’s websites and social media pages, in the school yearbook, etc. We will do our best to accommodate individual requests, but this cannot be guaranteed.
