Night of the Osprey Talent Showcase
FAST TURN-AROUND - Application Deadline November 14 – The Night of the Osprey (previously known as the Winter Talent Show) is an incredible evening that helps Bring Our Homeschool Community Together. We laugh, we cheer and are in awe and inspired as our students take to the stage and perform their hearts out! There have been singers, dancers, musicians, magicians, jugglers, martial artists, monologues, plays and so much more! We encourage students from all ages and talents to give it a try! Night of the Osprey applications are now being accepted online. Please use the link to access the “Act Submission Survey.” All applications must be submitted by November 14. The Survey will close on the 14 and no late applications will be accepted. We will be accepting one act per student this year. Students wanting to submit a video presentation, please see Mr. Paul as these will be shown pre-show. All performers will need to attend 2 rehearsals before the performance week with the show being held on Friday, December 13. This is an amazing opportunity to get the skills and confidence to perform in front of a supportive audience solo or with a group of friends. Questions? Email Mr. Paul Marlett at PBMARLETT@cbe.ab.ca.
