Sage Canyon Virtual Talent Show
May 19-21, 2020
Sage Canyon’s first Virtual Talent Show is airing Tuesday, May 19. You don’t want to miss it! The show will run the next three nights Tuesday, May 19 – Thursday, May 21. To view the show, we have created an “UNLISTED” YouTube video with a shareable link. Only those with this link can view the show:
https://youtu.be/KqCFDEhOppQ
The link will go live Tuesday, May 19 at 5:30 PM and will be taken down on Thursday at 10 PM. In order to create the feeling of a live broadcast, we encourage everyone to start the show at 5:50 PM. There is a 15 minute pre-show giving you a chance to make popcorn, figure out how to cast it to your TV and for the kids to get their dance wiggles out. The show will actually start at 6:05 PM and the last act is done by 7:26 PM. Short and sweet. If your children want to enjoy the final dance party and secret clip at the end, they will be done by 7:45 PM:

FAQs:
When is the Virtual Talent Show?
It will be posted on an UNLISTED YouTube link https://youtu.be/KqCFDEhOppQ
that will go live on Tuesday, May 19 at 5:30 PM. We encourage you to start the show at 5:50 PM. The show can also be watched on Wednesday, May 20 and Thursday, May 21.
Why not use ZOOM?
ZOOM was the original plan so that we could do live broadcasts, but we did several tests this weekend and there were quality issues. The video was very choppy on Saturday night, so we had the video bit rate decreased which made the quality better but still not as good as when watching using YouTube .
Is the You Tube video public?
NO, the YouTube video is not public. It is classified as “UNLISTED,” which means only those who have the link can view the show.
Can I share the YouTube link with friends and relatives?
Yes! We encourage you to share the link with friends and family so they can enjoy the show, too.
How long will the Talent Show Be?
From start to finish, it is 1 hour and 51 minutes including a 15 minute buffer at the front and back and a 15 minute intermission, so it’s really 1 hour and 21 minutes including a 15 minute intermission.
Will there be a Program for the Talent Show?
The program will be emailed to parents of participants and will also be on our PTA website: https://www.sagecanyonpta.com/talent-show.html .
When should we start the show?
We suggest you start the video at 5:50PM, so the actual show will start the show at 6:05 PM. There will be a 15 minute countdown timer from 5:50 PM until 6:05 PM to give families time to login and get settled in for the show. Intermission will also have a 15 minute countdown.
What’s the Best Way to Watch the Show?
We suggest casting the show to your television. Chromecast is a very good app. Apple TV as well. Smart TVs also have Screen Mirroring capabilities. We suggest figuring this out well before the show. We also suggest experimenting with casting from an iPad vs. a computer vs. a phone. Everyone has different experience with different devices.
