Important information for dance groups and other entertainers interested in performing for the Dia de Portugal Festival 2007 PLEASE READ ALL THIS INFORMATION CAREFULLY! Application Deadline: May 20, 2008
Eligibility
Any group (dance, performing art, musical, etc) is eligible to perform for the Dia de Portugal Festival 2007. First priority will be given to Portuguese and Brazilian groups, or other groups from Portuguese-speaking parts of our world.
Performance
Once your group has been confirmed to perform, we will notify you of your performance time. If it is necessary that your group perform at a certain time of the day, please indicate that on your application. We will try our best to accomodate your needs. Your group will be required to be at the park and ready to perform 30 minutes before you are scheduled to perform. If your group is not ready to go, we will move on to the next group if they are ready.
Participation in Parade
Participation in the Dia de Portugal Parade is not mandatory, though it is encouraged and appreciated. Please indicate on your application if your group will be able to participate in the parade.
Set-up
There will be 10 - 15 minute intervals in between each group. Please do not bring heavy props or backdrops that will require a lengthy set-up time.
Musical Equipment
We will provide a sound system to accommodate both live and recorded music. Please indicate on your application what kind of equipment you will need (CD player, cassette player, microphones, etc.).
Cancelation
If you suspect that your group will not be able to participate, please let us know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! There will be no penalty for cancelling, but it just makes things more difficult logistically and we appreciate your consideration.
Participation Stipend
There will be a $250 stipend provided to all groups who perform at the festival. This is standard for all groups and is non-negotiable.
