• Students must be homeschool students, graduates, or parents of homeschoolers; exceptions may be made for accompanists. Family groups are welcome. There is no minimum age requirement, but be aware that those selected will perform for an audience of around 1000 people.
• The performance will be on the west steps of the Colorado State Capitol. A microphone/sound system and electricity will be available.
• Audition requests must include a recording of your selection. Record your selection as you intend to perform it at the rally (if selected), including all accompaniment, props, costumes, clothing, etc., then double-check to make sure the recording works after you record it. Recording may be submitted in one of two ways.
  • On the form, upload the file directly (if less than 2MB) 
  • On the form, a link to your file stored on a cloud site such as Google Drive or DropBox (if 2MB or larger)
• Improve your chances of being selected to perform by observing the following:
  • Follow the submission rules exactly.
  • We prefer traditional/patriotic music and style for this event.
  • Performance clothing: Boys are asked to wear dress pants (no jeans) and a collared shirt or dress shirt and tie. Girls are asked to wear loose-fitting, well-covering dresses or skirts & tops. (They should be especially aware of skirt length to be at least knee-length, since the steps/staging area is elevated.)
• We consider auditions using a variety of factors, including adherence to the submission rules, style of performance, etc.
• Decisions by the Homeschool Day at the Capitol coordinator are final.
• Audition requests must be submitted by March 30th. You can expect to hear results after April 6th; we will notify you as quickly as possible so that you can make your plans for the event accordingly.
