IRI Talent Show Rules and FAQ
Welcome to the 2005 IRI Talent Show! Last year’s show was a HUGE success, with acts from water-conserving California to backwoods-rockin’ New Hampshire. We also introduced a panel of Celebrity Judges - Jason Morrella, Paul Copioli, Dave Lavery, John V-Neun, and Ken Patton. This year, we plan to do all this and more!
The 2005 Talent Show will be held in the Lawrence North Auditorium. All teams are encouraged to attend. There will be another panel of Celebrity Judges, more antics then can be imagined, and entertainment after the show. We hope to see you there!
