Sheboygan Falls Middle School students will have the opportunity to
participate in the annual *Talent Fest on Friday, January 13th, 2017, at
6:30PM in the middle school auditorium.* Students interested in
participating in the Talent Fest should begin to think about what type of
performance they wish to display. Students may perform in only one act
(unless it is a larger school organized ensemble), which can be either a
solo or group performance. Types of performances presented in the past
include singing, dancing, musical presentations, short skits, juggling, or
any act that displays a student’s talent. Now is the time to determine if
you wish to participate, in what way, and with whom. Performances will be
limited to 2 minutes. Students who elect to sing must be prepared to do so
without singing over the voice on a cd. Singers should include the name of
song they will perform on the permission slip and Mrs. Charbonneau will
provide a cd of the music for you to practice with. Parents, please assist
your child in assuring that the performance, music and lyrics, and costumes
are appropriate for our middle school audience. A printed copy of the
lyrics to music to be played or sung must be brought to the first rehearsal.

Students wishing to participate must be willing to thoroughly prepare and
practice at home. Participants *must attend either* of the scheduled
rehearsal dates, as indicated below. Acts must be well prepared, polished,
and ready to perform at the two rehearsals. The rehearsal dates are;

• *Monday, January 9th from 3:15-4:30PM*

*• Thursday, January 12th from 3:15-4:30PM*

*Students wishing to participate must complete the permission slip and
performance sign-up sheet and return it to Mrs. Charbonneau by Tuesday,
January 3rd, 2017. Should you require further information regarding the
Talent Fest, please do not hesitate to contact us.*

holiday spirit with ugly sweaters!
