Planning a talent show is always considered a fun way to involve the entire community. People can participate simply as performers, but they even can enjoy the talent show as the audience. If you are a teacher and trying to make your class more cohesive, organizing a class talent show is one of the greatest ways to show and understand the diversity within your own classroom. At the same time you are also encouraging the performance artistes around you by giving them a platform to perform.

1. How To Organize A Talent Show
Planning a talent show is always considered a fun way to involve the
entire community. People can participate simply as performers, but they
even can enjoy the talent show as the audience. If you are a teacher and
trying to make your class more cohesive, organizing a class talent show is
one of the greatest ways to show and understand the diversity within
your own classroom. At the same time you are also encouraging the
performance artistes around you by giving them a platform to perform.
Holding a talent show, you must first decide on a venue where performers
can showcase their talent. You can even have the talent show be a part of
a local fair or festival. If it is within your budget, you could reserve a
booth. Other places that you can consider to include are parks or other
open outdoor spaces. If you know a person for the local performing arts
school, you can call to reserve the concert or hall for your talent show. If
you are teacher planning a class talent show, you can skip this step, as
your classroom would best serve you to host the aspiring performance
artistes itself.
Once you land with a place for the venue, you need to secure a day and
reserve an exact time for it. Know the exact time you might need to allot
to all your performers so that you can have a proper time slot allotted and
managed in your talent show.
Make a list of final performers that you have in your talent show. You may
also create a waiting list of names, in case if any performers cancel or
become ill at the last basic minute, you could divide the number of total
acts you have with the total minutes you have reserved for your talent
show. This will tell you how many minutes will each performer need/have.
Organizing time is extremely important.

2. Create your talent show schedule. List all the performances and the time
that they require/would take in increments so that you have just
determined. Place each act's name next to the exact time allotted for the
performances. You can also keep the list of time increments between each
act to indicate the setup times for all acts.
While you are planning a talent show which is opening to the community,
you might also want to place ads in the local newspaper to promote your
talent show and get a huge crowd to the event. Advertising would help in
bringing you all the interesting performers that would enhance your
event. Once you finalize the talent show and the schedule, print out
copies to display it. This would help you in advertising as well so that the
audience is interested in a particular artist that is performing. This way
you can track the performance artistes and the audience best choice as
well.
