“STARS OF TOMORROW” Talent Show Applications
2026-02-07
The “Stars of Tomorrow” talent show is a joint effort of Monument Hill Kiwanis Club and School District 38. It will provide a showcase for students from any of the schools in the district to have their performing arts talents reviewed by professional judges. Contestants will gain practical experience, receive valuable feedback on individual performance and compete for cash prizes.
Individuals and groups may participate in Song & Dance, Drama, Vocal, Instrumental, A Cappella, Musical Theater, Jazz and both Classical and Modern music disciplines. The intent is to cast a “wide net” for a variety of participants, however actual performance is required (for example, no air guitars or lip syncing).
Competition groups will be elementary (grades 1-5) with a $500 prize, middle school (6-8) with $750 prize for first and $500 for second and high school (9-12) with prizes $2,000 for first, $1,000 for second, and $500 for third. While the middle school category does not mirror District 38’s classifications, adding a year’s class to the group is an attempt to even out the number of contestants in each group. The older performers are expected to be more accomplished, have been working to improve their skills for longer, have spent more money on instruments and instructions and are possibly committed to pursuing a performing arts career.
Participants must attend school in, or live within, Lewis-Palmer School District 38 borders.
Applications must be received by February 7 and will be notified by February 16 if they have been selected to audition. Competitive auditions will be held on Saturday February 21, 2026, between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Participants should come prepared as “show ready.” Contestants will be rated on talent, technique, artistry, presentation, stage presence and selection of material. Lyrics to songs, costumes and routines should be suitable for a family show. Please attach to your application a copy of the words to a song you will sing, dance to, or otherwise use in your act. Performers will be notified by February 26 if they have been selected to perform. Rehearsal will be March 14 and the Performance will be March 15
All judges will be professional with experience in a mix of performing arts, (piano, vocal, instrumental, dance, theater).
