It’s Talent Show…with a Twist!
This year’s talent show will be virtual (of course), so let’s take advantage of a whole new format. This is your child’s opportunity to showcase a talent that might not work on stage! As always dancing, singing, piano playing, magic acts, comedy, hula hooping, musical instruments, and skits are welcome, but 2021 is your chance to show your skills in skateboarding, biking, gymnastics, surfing, skimboarding, skiing, ice skating, trampoline, cooking, tumbling, rock climbing, horseback riding, scootering, swimming, diving, free throw shooting…you get the idea! You could even do a demo of cooking, lego building, gaming, knitting, sewing, hair styling, applying makeup, cake decorating… Be creative and show us what you love to do!
How to enter: Register by Friday, February 5 if your child is planning to participate. All 1st to 5th graders are invited to submit a video of their act that is 1-minute or less and is elementary-school appropriate (“G-rated”). Be sure to read the guidelines below! Questions?
