7:30 pm Showcase of Talent
Starting at 7:30 pm there will be a showcase of talent in the Exhibition Hall (which is the room closest to the parking lot – and where we held all events at the last family reunion).
All acts  - of all ages – are welcome
Due to high demand in past years we ask that, if possible, you "band together" (pun intended) and try to present "acts" that involve as many family members as possible.  If you want to perform please make sure you complete that section of the registration form and indicate how long you would like to perform. We will slot in acts on a "first-registered; first-on-stage basis".  We will use the registration to circulate a "draft-program" before the event. 

A preferred performance time is 5 minutes or 1 song… to allow us to have as many acts as possible.  Depending on how much interest we receive we may need to ask families to play together/cut down their performance time or we may be open to acts going longer. Please note that we will only have a very basic sound system. If you need more advanced equipment for your "performance" then you will need to bring it yourself and let us know beforehand what you are bringing.
