Serious Business

I am going through my nine page preparation package that is jam-packed with information. I came across this nugget just now:

PANEL I

This panel will judge the actual category performance of the contestant presented before a live audience. Contestants will be judged on TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE, SHOWMANSHIP, and TREATMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF MATERIAL. Each panel member can award a maximum of 75 points.

PANEL II

This panel will judge each contestant following a closed session individual audition. Contestants will be auditioned to determine their PROFICIENCY in their main entertainment specialty, their VERSATILITY of music styles and other talents and their musical KNOWLEDGE and INTERPRETATION. Each panel member can award a maximum of 75 points.

PANEL III

This panel will judge the contestant following a closed session personal interview. Contestants will be judged on their ATTITUDE, DESIRE to become a member of The Tour, APPEARANCE and ability to serve as an AMBASSADOR for the Company. Each panel member can award a maximum of 75 points.

Yeah, those are my interviews. I can rock one and three, I might not rock two. This is only the interview process. I still have more auditioning and events to do. It is going to be a serious ten day mental and physical workout. I need to have my song(s) selected by Monday, know what key I want it in and a much, much more.

And then it ends,
