Spectrum Drag Show Contract

• All performers must meet one of the following criteria:

1.      Performer is a Ball State Student and has attended at least two Spectrum meetings in the semester in which they are performing.

2.      Performer is a specially invited guest who has been approved by the executive board.

• Performers meeting criteria number one above shall also attend at least two events during the week/month of events outside of the Drag Show.  Events must be attended for the entire duration.

• Due to limitations on performance spaces, performers may be limited to a certain number of acts as seen below.  An act is defined as a performance that is either solo or group.

1.      First time performers may be limited to one act only.

2.      Second time performers may be limited to two acts only.

3.      Other performers shall be limited to no more that three acts, of which only two of these may be solo acts (example: two solos and one group act)

• All screenings and emcee auditions shall be closed to the public.  Any auditioning person holds the right to ask others to leave the room while they perform their act.

• At the first screening performers must bring their wardrobe and one (1) minute of choreographed music.  It would be wise to have a back-up in case one is not approved.

• Performers must have their music and wardrobe approved prior to the second screening.  They must also be able to perform their full “act.”  If the performer is unprepared, the Executive Board reserves the right to decide whether or not to allow the individual/group to perform in the show.

• Performers are not required to be in full drag at any screening.

• Performance time may not exceed six and a half (6 1/2) minutes.

• Performers are responsible for their own props.  Performers should make sure that any item on stage is removed from the performance area at the end of their act.

• Music must be on a high-quality CD-R, labeled with the performer’s stage name and song title.  Please put separate acts on separate CDs.  Performers must bring their music to the show; it is their responsibility to see that the DJ gets their music.  Remember to pick up music from the DJ after the show.

• Any performance is acceptable, except those that might cause injury to the audience or to other performers. (I.e. Do NOT bring anyone not approved onto the stage at any time!) If you are unsure of any part of your performance, get it approved!  Do not attempt to do something that is beyond your talent!

·        Pyrotechnics are NOT allowed. NO fire, glitter, water, bubble machines, fog machines, etc. are allowed whatsoever.

• Anyone caught in the act of stealing will immediately be removed from the location of the show.  Additionally, that person will be barred from any future Spectrum event.

• No last minute song changes.  Once your act has been approved, you may NOT change it.

• Set list will be posted two hours prior to show time; upon posting there will be no changes made, any changes to set list must be submitted for approval prior to posting.

• There are limited performance slots due to time constrictions; to guarantee your performance slot you must meet the above criteria.

• If any of the above rules are broken at any time, members of the executive board or Spectrum advisors have the right to remove you from the show, and you will not be allowed to finish your performance(s).
