50 Virtual Talent Show Ideas

Here at ClassTag, we love bringing together our community of teachers, parents, and students! This year, for our 2nd annual #SchoolsGotTalent talent show, the stakes are even higher thanks to our friends at @FirstActMusic.

The top 5 submissions will receive a First Act musical instrument of choice such as this super-cool America’s Got Talent Microphone…plus a chance to compete LIVE to win a $1,000 grant toward their school! 

The Rules are simple:

1. Make sure your Instagram account is set to public (or else we can’t view your awesome performances!) 
2. Post a video of your child/student’s talent performance on Instagram by 4/5/2021
3. Tag @schoolsgottalent, @classtagme, follow AND tag @FirstActMusic to qualify 

ClassTag will then repost submissions to the @schoolsgottalent handle for our community of followers to vote by “liking” their favorites. The contestants with the top 5 votes will compete in front of our special-guest judges for a chance to win the grand prize of $1,000 toward their school on 4/15/2021! 

Tips and Tricks to Shine

We know you might be camera shy, so here are some quick pro-tips to get you started:

Keep the video short (30-60 seconds). Instagram Reels is a great way to set your video apart!

Get the entire community involved by making this a school-wide effort and make sure to “vote” for your favorite acts by liking the Instagram reposts on @schoolsgottalent.
