2011 Talent Show Rules & Information

RULES:

1. All Performers will complete an Entry form and pay the entry fee prior to being scheduled for a performance time. All performances are on a first come, first serve basis.

2. Middle Tennessee District Fair will determine Performance times and order of contestants, MTDF and will try to accommodate special requests but will close posted times for “missed” performances. MTDF has the right to determine the eligible status for all contestants.

3. All performers will be present 30 minutes prior to the posted show time with their music for final schedule posting. Any one not present, unless directed by a MDTF Talent Show Personnel, will forfeit all entry fees.

4. All performances will be Family Friendly and G-rated. MTDF will disqualify and or remove any contestants during any performance that it determines to be “offensive” to our audience.

5. All Performers will declare the type of Act in which they will present at performance time. This will also be required just prior to the performance with a description to our Judges.

6. Each performance will be judged on appearance (appropriate for the type of act), stage presence, and quality of performance.

7. The Talent Show features four classes, Open, Gospel, School Classes, & Karaoke. In the “Open” class, performances can be any type of venue, Rock and Roll, Country, Blue Grass, Gospel, Dance, Comedy or etc. The “School” class is the same venue as the “Open” class for type of performance except it is restricted to Elementary and High School Students only. See School Class Entry form for additional rules and prizes for the School Class. The “Gospel” class is restricted to just Gospel type music as determined by our Judges. Karaoke will include the pre-recorded music with teleprompter.

8. The Talent Show accepts all types of musical acts, Vocalists, Vocalists with declared accompanists, Instrumentalists, and Bands or Groups. All acts will compete for a place winner regardless the type of act. Each act will be judged on its declared act not its accompaniment. Karaoke contestants will also be subject to our judging panel, MTDF staff and audience participation.

9. Judges will consider in their appraisals the accompanying music based on the lowest quality recording (if a CD skips for a certain contestant, then that contestant will not be penalized on their accompaniment verses their vocal performance).

10. Performers will be graded higher for staying in their vocal range, tonal quality and dynamics.

11. See Middle Tennessee District Fair General Rules for any additional clarifications.

Information:

1. MTDF will provide a sound system and mixing capabilities and can accommodate multiple inputs, please use our system to your advantage. If you have specific equipment needs please bring your equipment and we’ll accompany as able. We will work with you to balance the sound to try and maximize your performance.

2. We prefer Mini Discs, DVD’s or CD’s (Please record all music on “music” type CD’s not “data” type CD’s). No Cassettes please.

3. All Groups with multiple Musical Instruments please allow additional time prior to required 30 minute rule to setup and sound check your acoustics.

4. Don’t forget to have a back up copy of your music.
