Share Your Talent Day
Share Your Talent Day is like a "show and tell" day for students to share one of their personal talents while in music class. This is not graded or scored; it is only an opportunity for students to build stage presence and respectful audience behaviors.
Parent involvement:
Parents are encouraged to assist their student in practicing and preparing any needed props or scripts. Parents may also wish to transport instruments or props to school themselves, if so, they may be brought to Ms. Nimchuk's music room or their homeroom teacher with their permission. Because share Your Talent Day takes place during the regular school day, we ask that parents wishing to see their child’s performance plan to attend the Variety Show on Saturday, March 25th instead.
Share Your Talent Day Guidelines:
-Each student may be in 1 act
-1-4 students may be involved in each act
-Acts should be 3 minutes or less in length
-Students must stay in school uniform
Acts may include:
-Playing an instrument (a piano is available, all other instruments and sheet music must be brought in from home.)
-Singing a song (if you want to sing along to music we will find the Karaoke version on You Tube. Students may not sing along with a CD or mp3; we want to hear students’ voices, not the recording artists’ voice!)*
-Dancing*
-Individual martial arts routine or gymnastics demonstration* (no mats are available; perform at your own risk!)
-Reciting a poem or acting out a scene from a play or musical*
-Demonstrating one “trick”* (magic, juggling, yo-yo, etc.)
-Telling jokes*
*If your act includes words/lyrics, the words/lyrics must be turned in by Wednesday March 1st to be checked for school appropriateness.

School of Grammar Variety Show
The School of Grammar Variety Show is similar to Share Your Talent Day in its intent and guidelines. The main difference is that it takes place in the ERA Gym and groups students by multiple grade levels: K-2 and 3-5. The registration form will be online in February. The Share Your Talent Days in March during music class will be used as a "dress rehearsal." The 2017 School of Grammar Variety Show will take place Saturday March 25, 10:00-11:00 for grades K-2 and 11:30-12:30 for grades 3-5.
