Important Tasks

Programs
I need someone to make and copy a program. I will provide the order in which the performers will go on stage as well as other pertinent details. The formatting details, graphics etc. will be up to you. 150 copies should be sufficient. We can make it available for download in case we run out. 

If any of you are up for donating money to cover the printing costs, It would be appreciated.

Music
Only a few of the students have provided the music for their performances. We pulled up the audio from YouTube for most of the auditions. I need all audio by Thursday of this week. That will give me time to put together the playlist, test each track and work with you to solve any problems that I encounter. I will try any format you send, but I can say that .wav and .mp3 will definitely work.

On the night of the show...

Greetings Talent Show Performers!

I am looking forward to this year's Talent show on Monday, April 30 ! Here are a few details that you will need…

The show will take place at Lost Mountain Middle School at 6:30 PM. 

I will be working with my student and adult assistants from 5:45- 6:00 and I would like performers to arrive at 6:00.  Performers should arrive in their performance attire.

Performers will be seated together. One of my assistants will seat the performers in performance order. This will help to ensure that each performer can smoothly transition from the audience to the stage.

Thank you for your cooperation,
Justin Duff
Music Teacher
Due West Elementary School

Sign up to be a part of the show!
I will continue to accept Applications despite the passing of the due date.
​However, students who sign up to perform after 4/13 will only be able to audition on Thursday, April 18 or via video.
Thank you for your interest, and enjoy the show!
(Performance Applications will be accepted through 4/13 & applications to help will be accepted through 4/25)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Will you come get us out of ASP?
A: On the day of your audition, I will have ASP send you down to the music room. Please just let me know if you have ASP, so that I know where to find you.

Q: Can we dance and sing?
A: Unfortunately, I do not have wireless headset microphones. You may dance and sing, but your singing will not be heard unless you are holding a microphone. 

Q: What time will the auditions take place?
A: An audition schedule will be created once all applications have been received. Each participant's parents will receive an email with their child's audition time. 

Q: How do we submit our video audition?
A: I cannot accept large videos using my cobbk12 email address. The best way to send your video is to save it to an online drive (the cloud) and send me a link to it. Here is an article about several ways to do that.
