Ridglea Hills Talent Show 2022 April 29, 2022 - 6:00 pm - Monnig Middle School

We have a beloved tradition at Ridglea Hills - The Talent Show!  And it's BACK!  Live and in person!

What is it?  While it's called a talent show, it's really a night of showcasing talent.  There are no winners or losers.  Only RH students, faculty/staff are eligible.  There might be girls' acts, boys' acts, mixed groups, or solo acts.  Often there will be a grade level group - such as "Third Grade Boys" and they will rehearse and perform a dance together.  A super fun way to get to know other kids (and parents!) in your grade.  Parents sponsor the acts and organize the choreography, costumes - everything.  RHPTA volunteers will organize and produce the show.  It will be FREE to attend for our RH Family.  Sometimes you'll even see a fun act with your favorite teachers in it!  5th graders will have the opportunity to be the emcees and stage crew for the show.  (signups will go home with 5th graders this week!)


Details and Dates:  

Monday, March 21st at 3:15 - Sponsor Meeting and First Chance to register and claim music. (Only one group can use a song, so come to this if you want a popular song!)


Friday, April 1st - this is the absolute deadline to turn in entry forms. Sponsors will also need to turn in permission forms and Music/AV Needs.  


Wednesday, April 20th at 6:00 pm - Sponsor walk-through at Monnig. Required for at least one sponsor per act.  


Wednesday, April 27th - Dress Rehearsal at Monnig


Friday, April 29th at 6:00 pm is the Big Night!  


All forms are available at wwww.rhpta.com.  Minimal copies will be available outside the office.  Watch for more information each week in the Pony Post and on the RHPTA Facebook page.
