The Friday Talent Show is our very own talent
and variety show featuring singing, dancing, lip-synch, comedy, and a
special tribute. It is the highlight of an evening that begins with cocktails
and a full meal served at the elegant and historic Elk's Lodge. Since
2000, attendees at Esprit have had the chance to make their dreams
come true, that is, if your dream is to dress up like your idol and get
up on stage shaking your booty and performing!
Last year's Talent Show brought forth the world of Petticoats and Trannie songs. Whether you were up on stage or out in the audience, you were part
of the show too. We invited you to wear your favorite petticoat outfit,
be it a poodle skirt, country sundress, bridal gown, prom dress, square
dance dress, or whatever goes well with a petticoat.
Due to popular demand, this event is open to the public for a $5 cover charge
(donated to charity) after the meal has concluded (approximately 8PM).
Esprit staff and a local security guard will provide security and
screen local guests. There will be a no-host bar serving alcohol so you
must be 21 or over.
After the talent show, live bands will play on site as well as in town. You won't want to miss this great
night of entertainment!
One more day left and we are definitely not ending quietly!
On Saturday we start by honoring our first time attendees in a special
ceremony ...
Guidelines
 |
There are some basic guidelines that
must be followed in order to make the show as enjoyable as possible.
Everyone still gets to be in the show (unless there is a real
time constraint and too many acts). Pretty much anything goes,
as long as it's satisfactory for the diverse, all-age audience
that we have at Esprit. Participants will be limited
to one turn up on stage with possible exceptions for well-rehearsed
performances by players with established track records if we
have a surplus of time. |
| Performers are asked to restrict acts
(songs/skits/sketches/etc.) to five minutes, as we're trying
keep the show at a reasonable length and fast-paced. Auditions
will be held around mid-week, and rehearsals are typically held
Friday afternoon. These commitments may mean you miss classes
or other activities. The actual audition and rehearsal times
will be posted on the weekly schedule as soon as possible, but
you should also check the Registration Desk for last minute
scheduling announcements. |

To avoid playback and media/equipment incompatibilities,
we recommended that you bring the original factory CD. You
may bring your own burned audio or MP3 CD or cassette tape
as a backup but personal copies have proven to be unreliable.
You can email an electronic copy of your music to our show
coordinator ahead of time to work out any glitches.
So get out there, get your acts together
and practice, practice, practice! If you have any questions,
or want to get your act in the lineup early, please contact
the talent show coordinator with your ideas, plans, and what
you'd like to do in the show.
