Attention Beye School students and parents…
Calling all singers, dancers, musicians, magicians, silly stunt
performers, crazy skits, stage crew members and MC’s who

Exciting changes for this year, keep reading to learn more!
It’s time to start thinking about your act because auditions are in two short weeks—just
before spring break, March 23rd and 24th! Please note: All students who audition will be
included in the Talent Show as long as they attend all rehearsals. We will work with each
act to fine-tune the performance so we showcase all of our talented Beye School students!
This year we are very excited to announce that there will be TWO performances of the
talent show. Your child must be available for both performances in order to participate.
Our performers who work so hard on their acts will get to perform twice for our
enthusiastic Beye crowds!

4. All acts should be put together enough for the directors to understand the performance by the auditions.
Rehearsals are for staging, fine-tuning and the flow of the show!
5. All material, including lyrics, dance moves, etc., must be appropriate for elementary school. We HIGHLY
recommend Kidz Bop versions of pop songs. It uses appropriate language and the recorded music is
readily available. Show tunes are also a wonderful resource for material.
6. We recommend that dancers dance and singers sing, but that acts not include both singing and dancing. It
is impossible to successfully mic a dancer so that they can sing. Please choose whether you are a singing
act or a dancing act!
7. Lip-Synching is not allowed for singing acts.

8. Masters-of-Ceremony (MC’s) are restricted to 4 or 5 graders. We will consider solo or duo MC’S; we will
consider having a different set for each act if there are several students interested and able to MC!
Interested students should bring 2 minutes worth of material (i.e. jokes, pretend introductions, etc.) to the
audition; director(s) will help compose your final act. There may be some additional rehearsals for the MCs,

11. ALL K – 2 GRADE STUDENTS MUST BE SUPERVISED BY AN ACCOMPANYING ADULT during the

audition and ALL rehearsals. Your K-2 grade child may leave with the accompanying adult following the
rehearsal of their act. We encourage parents/caregivers to trade off these duties with other
parents/caregivers in the same position. If you have any particular issues with this, please contact DiAne
Boese to discuss. We will do our best to assist you with this requirement.
12. ALL STUDENTS must follow the Beye Laws by demonstrating appropriate behavior during auditions and
all rehearsals. Students may be asked to leave the rehearsal and will forfeit their spot in the show if

Women’s History Month on March 20-22 with performances of two distinct plays
from different eras.
“Lodestar,” an original work by CAST program director Bill McGlynn, tells the
story of a group of women hired by Edward Pickering at Harvard as skilled
workers to process astronomical data. Join CAST in celebrating these remarkable
women and the supportive atmosphere that allowed them to develop the Harvard
Classification Scheme of stars – and to make history. “Lodestar” will be
performed at 7:30 p.m. on March 20 and at 3:30 p.m. on March 21.
“The Secret Life of Girls” highlights the impact of “cyberbullying,” the facilitation
of mean-spirited behaviors through the use of cell phones, texts, and the like.
When faced with the consequences of their actions, the girls ultimately resolve –
one by one – to change their behaviors. Performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. on
March 21 and at 3:30 p.m. on March 22.
Tickets are available in advance through the CAST website
at www.op97.org/CAST or may be purchased at the door. Please contact Kathy
Simon at 708 524 7848 or [email protected] for more information.
