Individual Items

Individual items are the performances that add variety and interest to the Primary Proms. Your school group or even groups that combine students from a variety of schools are invited to lodge a nomination to appear in the Primary Proms as featured performers. It might be a string quartet, concert band, percussion ensemble or even a vocal group. All primary and secondary schools are encouraged to submit outstanding vocal and/or instrumental groups or soloists for inclusion in the Primary Proms.

Auditions for individual items are by video. To nominate an individual item from your school, you must download and complete the Individual Item Application Form and lodge it at The Arts Unit by the due date (Friday 1 August 2008). Use the link below to download the necessary form. (Please note: downloadable material on the site can be accessed using Adobe Acrobat Reader which is available to download free from www.adobe.com )

Individual items also form an integral part of the Primary Schools Choral Festival and the Festival Of Instrumental Music at the Sydney Opera House. Individual item applications for these concerts close on 11 April 2008. You need only complete one application for all three concert series. Space exists on the application form for you to indicate the concerts in which your school would like to appear if selected.

All performers selected to appear as individual items will be required to attend a rehearsal on the day of their concert.

Don't forget - your video audition must accompany your application.
