Music and Lip Sync Festival Guidelines

For all county activities, groups may consist of any combination of enrolled 4-H members.

Use good judgment on your entry selection.  Parents/leaders are asked to preview performances to make sure appropriate for all ages of youth.   Profanity is prohibited.

Videotaping/recording of your child’s group performance for personal use is allowed.  Videotaping/recording of entries as your submission for any county contest (Music and Lip sync Festival, Communications Contest, Drama Festival) will not be allowed.  Performances must be live.

Adults are encouraged to provide guidance and support in teaching youth as they prepare for and perform in these events.  They may assist with stage/scenery design, costuming, practices, and serve as accompanists for musical performances.  However, they may not perform with the youth.  Remember these are youth performances, and we want to keep them learning experiences for the youth.

 1.     Individual 4-H members and groups may enter.  A group is four or more members.  Youth may also participate in performance by serving as stage help (i.e. curtain pullers, scenery, costumes, make up, etc.)  Youth participating in this manner should also be included on the registration indicating their role.

2.     Solos, duets, trios or group ensembles perform (musical, dance and lip sync).

3.     The same 4-Her may perform in a maximum of three performances.

4.     Each performance should be a minimum of one minute.  Each group performance is not to exceed 10 minutes.

5.     Each musical performance should provide a copy of music for judge on the day of the event.

6.     Individuals and groups are responsible for their own props.  A microphone, piano/keyboard and cassette tape/CD player will be provided for your use.  If you are bringing a tape or CD, please turn in tape/CD when you arrive that day labeled by your performance number.

7.     Performances will be divided for music, dance and lip sync entries into the following four divisions based on average grade of group:    Cloverbuds (K-2nd Grade); Junior Division (3rd-5th Grade); Intermediate Division (6th-8th Grade); and Senior Division (9th Grade and Older)

8.     Each performance is critiqued/judged (oral and written), except individual Cloverbuds or group where the average grade is Cloverbud grade who will receive a participation ribbon only (not judged).  4-Hers may have the option of not being placed.  They would receive a participation ribbon.

9.     Ribbons and certificates are awarded.

10.   For each performance, Best Choreography and Best Costume award certificates may be presented at judge’s discretion.

11.   Merit ribbon may be given to top performance at judge’s discretion in each division.  They may give out a Merit ribbon for solos/duets/trios in each division and one for group performances per division.

12.   The facility will be open a half-hour prior to the event starting to allow participants to become comfortable with the stage, microphone and/or piano/keyboard prior to performing.

13.   If you use props that create a mess (i.e. straw, hay, etc.), try to wrap them in something and ask coordinator of the event for equipment to clean up after yourself.  This will help everyone involved.
