Event Details

Date:
Tuesday night

Time:
7:00 p.m.

Location:
Dance Performance Theatre (BYU Richards Building)

As a YASE participant, you are invited to perform in the Entertainers’ Showcase! The Entertainers’ Showcase is an opportunity for you to perform a musical piece in a small group or as a soloist, and receive written feedback from the director and other BYU faculty and Young Ambassadors. Selected individuals will be chosen from the showcase for solo and small-group performances in the Final Concert. Performing is optional, but all participants must attend the entire showcase. Family and friends are welcome to attend. Tickets are not required for the Entertainers’ Showcase.

Allotted Time

All performances for the Entertainers Showcase have a max time limit of 2 min. This allows for as many to participate as possible. If you are over a few seconds that is fine. This amazing showcase can be over three hours long so please do your part and stay right near the 2 minute mark. Duets have a max time of 4 min.

Music

All music (including lyrics, beat, intensity, and choreography) must adhere to BYU Honor Code and For the Strength of Youth standards. If your song is inappropriate, you will be asked to change your song before being allowed to perform in the Entertainers Showcase.

*Note:  we will send you the song/show list that may be used for numbers in the final show. Please do not use them for your Entertainers’ Showcase number.

Soundtrack

If you will be using a soundtrack to play for the placements and showcase, the soundtracks must be submitted in a compatible format on the google document before arriving at camp. No CD’s, YouTube links, or USBs will be accepted. You must submit the music into the google doc in a MP3 or a Wave file.

Sheet Music

You are also welcome to bring sheet music. Accompaniment and practice time will be provided. If you decide to bring sheet music, you must bring a copy for the accompanist in plastic sheet covers! We do not want your master and we cannot copy song books. Write your name, email address, and phone number on the front page of your sheet music. 

Sign‐ups to practice with the accompanist will be done at check‐in. Have sheet music ready in hand to practice with accompanist on Tuesday, and at performances. Self-accompaniment is also fine.

Please be aware that you are in charge of picking up your sheet music at the end of the Entertainers’ Showcase and/or Final Concert. All unclaimed music will be sent to BYU Lost and Found.

Costume

Costumes are optional. All costumes must adhere to BYU Honor Code and For the Strength of Youth standards. You will not be allowed to perform if you are not in compliance. 

Clothes and Hair

Comfort: It’s important that you’re not thinking about your clothing when you are on stage, so wear clothes that you are comfortable in and that follow the Honor Code.

Hair: Style your hair off of your face to avoid creating shadows.

Accessories: The noise made by jangly jewelry will get picked up by the microphones. Large, metallic jewelry may throw distracting reflections from the lights.
