  • Absolutely NO MUSIC CHANGES can be made after tryouts. The coordinators need time to plan out the show and arrange music. Thank you for understanding!
  • 1 Minute, 30 Seconds (1:30) performance time maximum (please practice timing your act at home)
  • Music will be sourced on iTunes. Please let us know the name of the musical selection on iTunes + artist as well as the start & stop time for the song.  Franklin PTA will download the song based on the information provided and create a show music playlist. **If your song selection is NOT on iTunes, have a special remix, or can only find a YouTube recording, you must still provide a CD. SONG SELECTIONS ARE DUE BY MARCH 1st!
  • 5th graders interested in being a M.C. should fill out the registration form and list M.C. as the act. You will be contacted prior to try-outs with details and M.C. responsibilities. No need to prepare anything for try-outs, just bring a good work ethic and willingness to learn! Plan on attending the entire try-outs. ​

Parent volunteers are needed!
