Parent Authorization
I have read and agree to ALL of the Cambridge Elementary Talent Show Rules and I give permission for my child
__________________________ to audition and participate in the Cambridge Elementary Talent Show. I understand
that my child must attend the practices and dress rehearsal or will be eliminated from the program. I understand
that because of time, a desire to have a variety of talents and groupings (individual, partners, small groups), and
grade levels represented during the showcase, not everyone who auditions will be chosen to participate in the
School Wide Assembly.
Print Name____________________________________ Sign X________________________________________
I understand that I am giving permission to the school to use my child’s name, photo and video to be published on school
social media sites.
I have included a copy of the lyrics for any song that I am singing or using for my act. Only one copy per group is required.
