submission. Please read all rules pertaining to your event at
wwwflthespian.com as STATE rules are the same as DISTRICT rules.
ONLY 8 SUBMISSIONS ARE ALLOWED FOR EACH CATEGORY FOR EACH
SCHOOL.
If selected you may compete with up to 3 Individual Events and 1 Technical
event
Your piece MUST BE FROM A PUBLISHED PLAY OR PUBLISHED
MUSICAL. You must have KARAOKE music on a CD for any musical submissions.
There cannot be ANY BACKGROUND VOCALS AT ALL - NOT EVEN A WHISPER- in order to
qualify.
It is highly recommended that you have your music
personally transcribed into a CD. After acquiring your sheet music you can
have your own outside source record for you. This requires a charge for
rehearsal time and the making of your own personal CD.
Please be very careful about choosing others to work with
you. Once you are commited to teaming for an individual event I will expect
you to stick with your piece. There will be no switching of roles after
submissions are cast.
