The master of ceremonies will call for music approximately 5-10 numbers before your performance.  Once your number has been called, turn in your labeled and rewound tape or CD, then report backstage.  Rising Star labels need to be used on all cassettes or CDs!

Rising Star does not permit the use of video cameras during any portion of the competition.  As a service to you, the Rising Star Video Production Crew professionally tapes each and every performance to be sold to contestants and teachers!  Be sure to fill out the video order available from the Registration Desk or in the competition program.  If pre-ordered, you will receive a 20% discount and your video tape will be available the day of your performance.  However, if ordered late, same-day service cannot be promised.  A $5.00 postage and handling fee will be charged to all late orders, which may be refunded if tapes are finished early.

Rising Star trophies and plaques are available for sale immediately following the awards ceremonies.  Trophy prices are as follows: $40.00 for First Place, $30.00 for Second Place and $30.00 for Third Place trophies.  Plaque prices are as follows: $20.00 for Platinum, Gold or Silver and $25.00 for Top Awards.

As a service to all participants, Rising Star has a fantastic sales department for your shopping enjoyment.  We carry the latest in competition wear including t-shirts, shorts, novelty items and much more!   Be sure to ask about our contest "emergency" kit for safety pins, bobby pins, a glue gun or sewing kit.  Rising Star looks to serve you in the best way possible.
