For the participants: Participating in a talent show gives all students recognition for non‐academic talents. It also provides character‐building lessons during try‐outs, practice and performance. In middle and high school, student production teams get to showcase their staging, sound and lighting skills. It’s a wonderful teambuilding experience for all ages. For the parents/parent association: Talent shows are a fun opportunity for parents to partner with performing arts teachers, administrators, and other parents. Many schools use talent shows to raise money by selling tickets, t‐shirts and concessions. haarleighx https://padlet.com/harrietknowles123/6kls4msoqtxz/wish/146277653 2017-01-10 15:26:31 UTC https://padlet.com/harrietknowles123/6kls4msoqtxz/wish/146277653 What's needed? •Backstage: where will acts wait until it’s their turn? •Production Planning; -Staging What equipment is needed for each act how will it get where it needs to be. -Sound – Who will start/stop recorded music?
