2. Organized opportunity indicates certain discipline to be enforced Age appropriate content that speaks to the value system of the school is critical Talent indicates that their ability displays certain level of proficiency and maturity Provide an organized opportunity to our wranglers to showcase their talents Allows our upper grade students to get comfortable with public speaking Motivates students that have talent in non- performing arts to participate by managing backstage and compere Most importantly, makes this a student show Provide opportunity to our students to host the show While it is great to have a professional show, it is not feasible to always have parent volunteers who are professionally trained to run the show Documenting the straight forwardness of the show with clear objectives and ownership increases the chances of having the show every year Create a repeatable model that allows for the Talent show to be carried on every year Meeting these objectives will make this event a success!

3. Given resource constraints, we can only have one night performance This is display of talent; Hence it makes sense for upper grades to get the priority Lower grades will have their opportunity when they advance to upper grades This means at the most 35 acts with 2.5 minutes each Potential matures into talent over the years Prodigal talent while exists, is an exception They can also partner with upper grade children to perform in this show It is not about omission; It is simply a matter of feasibility !
