Talent Music
Although your talent music is not paperwork, it's also due at orientation. You may upload your 90 seconds or less talent selection in the form below or bring a copy on CD with you to orientation.
Please note that talent selections are registered on a first come, first served basis, so it's important to register your music as soon as possible. Two contestants cannot perform to the same song even if they are performing different talents. For example, a singer and a dancer cannot both perform to "Orange Colored Sky".
*You are responsible for making the desired cuts to your music. The time limit for the talent competition is 90 seconds. The version you turn is must be of competition quality. Talent CDs may not be enhanced. For example: Background vocals cannot sing the same words at the same time as the performer. If you find that you are having problems please contact us prior to orientation.
