Northfield Talent Show Coordinator

The Ta1ent Show Coordinator is responsib1e for:

1. Signing up a11 participants throughout the week.

It is recommended that the Coordinator have a sign-up sheet in Gould Ha11 outside the Cafeteria and maybe carry a clipboard for entering names.

2. Determining the order of the acts and entering the performer's name and type/name of act on a flip chart that can be posted at the entrance to the Performance Hall.

(NOTE: every attempt should be made to have the youngest chi1dren perform first, or at 1east, within the first hour.)

3. Coordinate with the Technical Director for the sound system and microphone set-up.

4. Delegate assistants for setting up the chairs in the Ha1l. These "stage hands" may need to help set up for certain acts. (Those Crazy Canucks!)

5. Assign a Master of Ceremonies (MC) for the event. The MC is responsible for moving acts along at a good pace.

The talent show is typically 2-2.5 hours long, starting at 8: 00 PM. If each act is 5 minutes, there's time for approximate1y 30 acts. (We've had more without too much of an overrun).

6. Having a lot of fun!
