We're excited for you to share your talents and “Get Your Shine On” in the Pinchbeck Talent Show this year! Please remember, since this is a talent show, students WILL NOT be permitted to lip-sync; karaoke-style accompaniment is allowed though.  All acts must be appropriate for elementary-age students and are limited to ONE-AND-A-HALF MINUTES. Each participant MUST have an adult sign up to volunteer either during practices, the show or to donate concession items. 

Please submit your audition form, and any music files, no later than January 15, 2025 (extended due to school closings).

Auditions will be held after school January 16, 2025 from 2:30-4:30

Where: The cafeteria (you will sign out your child from the cafeteria at 4:30)

What: Any act highlighting something your child enjoys. In the past we’ve had dance, drumming, piano, singing, stand-up comedy, gymnastics, martial arts and more!

Your child will need to be picked up from practices after school (by 4:30 pm) on 1/23,1/30,2/6, 2/12 and the show on 2/13 from 5-8 pm (show starts at 6pm). If you have any conflicts with these dates/times, please reach out to us at talentshow@pinchbeckpta.com.
