Rules and Guidelines

1. All participants must be active Bridgeland High School students.

3. The performance categories include: vocal (solo, duet, ensemble), Instrumental (solo, duet, ensemble), Theater/Drama (dramatic, poetry reading, monologue, comedy routine), or Dance (tap, jazz, modern, ballet and hip hop).

5. It is strongly recommended that an act run no more than 3 minutes. Under no circumstances may an act run more than 5 minutes.
6. Each act must provide their own costumes, props, music, etc. These should not be so elaborate they can not be set up and removed quickly.
7. A legible copy of the lyrics/script must be provided to the judges at the audition.
8. The lyrics, actions and dress code of any entry must comply with all policies for student conduct at Bridgeland High School. All themes must be appropriate for school. Any act that contains profanity, sexual language, suggestive sexual themes or violence will not be allowed. In other words, performers may not sing about, discuss or pantomime any activity that students could not actually say or do on school grounds.
9. Students must comply to behavior expectations during auditions, rehearsals and performance. If students are disruptive they will automatically be removed from the showcase.

11. Each act must audition EXACTLY as it will perform the night of the showcase. This means all props, costumes, music, etc. that will be part of the performance must be used during the audition. If any of these changes the night of the performance, the act will be stopped immediately.
12. At auditions, the judges will be looking for acts that are unique, school appropriate and quality performances.
