Rehearsing Your Act
Each act is responsible for practicing and rehearsing independently before the show.
All acts must submit a video recording of their performance by May 1, 2026. Perfection is not required; the purpose is to inform emcees and confirm setup needs.
All performers and emcees must attend a mandatory tech rehearsal on Thursday, May 14th at 6pm for a run through of the show and arrive by 5:30pm on the show date (Friday, May 15th).
Parent Volunteer Commitment: At least one caregiver of each student must volunteer (e.g., backstage helpers, ushers, decorations, etc). Sign-up opportunities will be available shortly. Your support is essential in making this event a success!
Theme: While there is no specific theme, participants are encouraged to get creative and showcase their favorite recipes or culinary creations.
Dish Guidelines: Dishes can be sweet or savory and may include appetizers, main courses, desserts, or snacks. The dish should be prepared at home, and delivered to the MUR between 5-5:30PM on the date of the show so volunteers can set up the culinary showcase. The dish should include a label with the name of the dish and the chef's name. Please consider including an ingredient list that contains allergen information, eg. gluten-free, vegan, or contains nuts, dairy, eggs, etc.
Portion Size and Serving: Participants should portion out the dish into small or bite-size servings that can be easily sampled by attendees. Toothpicks and napkins will be provided.
Parent Volunteer Commitment: At least one caregiver of each student will be expected to volunteer in some way (eg. set up, managing tables, clean-up, etc.). Sign-up opportunities will be available shortly. Your support is essential in making this event a success!
We're looking for a few enthusiastic fifth graders to act as emcees for the show. As the official hosts of the evening, you'll make this event a success with your positive energy, comedic timing and wit. You will welcome the audience to the show, introduce each act, dismiss the audience for intermission and to enjoy the culinary showcase, and thank the audience and performers at the end.
Expectations
You will get to preview the acts starting the first week of May, then collaborate with other emcees to write a script that excites the crowd for each act. Script draft should be submitted for review by Talent Show coordinators by Friday, May 8, 2026.
All performers and emcees must attend a mandatory tech rehearsal on Thursday, May 14, 2026 for a run through of the show and arrive by 6pm on the show date for a run-through of the process.
Emcees have a special role in hosting the showcase and may not sign up to be in a Performance Showcase act.
Parent Volunteer Commitment: Parents must help coordinate meeting times for the emcees to collaborate and rehearse. Please help review the script to make sure it is appropriate and fits within the time limit.
