Submission Guidelines
Sherwood Talent Show
Event date: Thursday March 26, 2026Please have all required information ready before filling out the online Video Submission Form on our website :1. All students in tryouts first and last names
2. All student’s teacher and all student’s grade levels
3. All students parent/guardian’s email addresses
4. Description of act
5. Any props needed (which must be provided)
6. Song information (title, artist, digital copy of song for upload)Please note the following guidelines for all Talent Show Acts:Acts must be no more than 2 minutes:
The goal is to be able to involve as many acts/kids in the show as possible. The exception to this rule is if you have 8 kids or more in your act. Then you can contact [email protected] for a new time limit.Choose Appropriate Content:
Music, dialogue, dance moves, costumes, etc. must be appropriate for all audiences. This not only includes making sure you do not have explicit lyrics but also that subject matter in a song is appropriate. If you try out with questionable content, you’ll be required to choose another song which will affect your entire act. Please ensure the lyrics are clean and appropriate for all ages.Be Prepared during video submissions:
We will have judges from the community judging auditions.Submit your video (no longer than 2 minutes, max) of a rehearsed act at our website: SherwoodTalentShow.com and fill out all the required information on the submission form. Having a costume ahead of time is not required but if you already own what you are planning to wear, then wear it. You can also just coordinate for the day with your friends.Be Respectful:
It takes courage to stand in front of people and perform. Each act that takes the stage deserves your respect and support. Please listen quietly when another act is performing and applaud for them when they finish.One Act per Student:
The goal of the show is to involve as many students as possible so each student may try out for one act. Choose your favorite talent or be creative in figuring out how to combine your talents into one act.Sing with Karaoke music:
- To give each singer the best opportunity to be heard you must sing with the Karaoke version of a song if you are using music. It is hard to be evaluated fairly if you are competing with Taylor Swift.
- To make this accessible to everyone you can request a karaoke version of your song when you sign up if you don’t have one already. The Talent Show Committee will email you with a karaoke version.Be Creative:
Remember the best show is composed of a
variety of acts so think about what you may have to contribute. If you are going to use music for your act, try to find something unique. If you choose the most popular song, you may be competing for a spot with other acts using that same song or you may be asked to combine your act with others using the same song or to change it. If your heart is set on a popular song, consider finding a big group that will join you.Have Fun:
It can be scary to stand up on stage and perform. If you mess up or forget your lines, do your best to keep going. In the actual show you can't start over. If you are having fun and smiling it makes your act memorable and the audience won't care that you messed up.Mandatory Attendance
You must attend your scheduled rehearsal dates, dress rehearsal and both performances (Assembly and Evening Show) if you are offered a place in the show. This is our only opportunity to work out any kinks and ensure everything is running smoothly before the show.SCHEDULE:
