Its name is even similar\u2026 the Clarington\u2019s Got Talent Youth Showcase is happening on Friday, May 3<\/span><sup><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\">rd<\/span><\/sup><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"> beginning at 7 pm. This is all about creating a venue, at the Firehouse Youth Centre, for teens and pre-teens to display rehearsed segments in front of a live audience. They\u2019ll also face the critical, but supportive, eyes of judges, who will be evaluating each performance using pre-written criteria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\">But, don\u2019t bother to look for Howie Mandel amongst the crowd because this will be a program unique to the local area. It\u2019s set to include dancing, singing, bands, and instrumental acts. \u201cThe event is to celebrate youth during National Youth Week and promote young people\u2019s talent and potential,\u201d explains Lyndsay Riddoch, CGT organizer. So far, there are around 15 acts lined up featuring a range of different genres. It\u2019s a chance for attendees to learn something new and possibly even meet one of Clarington\u2019s next big stars. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\">On a broader scale, National Youth Week is a country-wide movement that encourages young people to get involved in their communities in positive ways. It also highlights the strengths of Millennials, Gen Zers, and beyond. Riddoch adds, \u201cThe show is hosted by Bowmanville Rotary Club in collaboration with Firehouse Youth Centre and all proceeds raised will be in support of Clarington Youth Centres.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\">Admission is $5 and there will also be refreshments and snacks. And, a chance to win prizes. Competitors can look forward to possibly taking home musical prize packs or a gift card to a local business. Of course, they\u2019ll also be competing for the coveted title of \u201cClarington\u2019s Got Talent Champion.\u201d It will be an exciting opportunity for participants to have a lot of fun and to get involved in a worthwhile community initiative.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Local, up-and-coming talent getting ready for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3784","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-show-archives"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oshawarocks.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3784","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oshawarocks.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oshawarocks.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oshawarocks.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oshawarocks.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3784"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.oshawarocks.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3784\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3789,"href":"https:\/\/www.oshawarocks.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3784\/revisions\/3789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oshawarocks.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3784"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oshawarocks.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3784"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oshawarocks.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
