How do I know if my song is appropriate for the Lip Sync Contest?

Ms. Allen will contact you as soon as possible if your song can 
not be used.  Please be sure your performance is appropriate for 
the middle 
school in lyrics, dance moves, costumes,etc.  Remember that songs 
can not be 
over 3 
minutes.  So, pay attention to all these details when picking a 
song 
and dance.

If I am participating, how can I make sure my family gets tickets?

At the dress rehearsals, performers will be given a chance to buy 
up to 3 
tickets in advance at $5 each.  Please take advantage of this 
ticket purchasing opportunity since the 
tickets do get sold out once they are available to the rest of 
the school.

When are dress rehearsals and meetings?

Meetings will be FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9th and FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23rd. 
These meetings should be short. On the 9th, we will discuss song 
selection issues and groups with the same song choice. On the 
23rd, I will want to see your costumes.
Dress Rehearsals will be WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4th and THURSDAY, 
NOVEMBER tth 
(in the auditorium).
DRESS REHEARSALS CAN NOT BE MISSED!  At the meeting on October 
23rd, I will 
announce which groups need to be at which dress rehearsal.

How do I know what night I will be perfoming?

Please keep both nights free.  It will depend on how 
many groups we have from each grade.  You will know for sure by 
the last 
meeting.
