There are 24 applications for the FIRSTies. Of those 24, we will be paring down to about 15-18 acts through on-site auditions in St. Louis. These final acts will be performing at the
Ferrara Theater for the FIRSTies, taking place at 7:00pm on Saturday night.
I must say, there will be a wide variety of shows. There are some funny skits, songs, and dances planned to entertain and surprise the audience. Acts will be represented from various countries, bringing all sorts of culture to the stage.
The judges will be setting up a AIM chat, viewable by the audience (through a PC projector), so that comments from the judges (only) can be seen while the acts are performing. At least, that is what our plan is.
Thank you for all of the people willing to perform and to help make the FIRSTies fun!
(pssst... if you are in an act, we will have an organizational meeting at the AndyMark booth at 11:00am on Thursday)
Sincerely,
Andy Baker
