Demonstration
Are you going to accomplish something that we will only understand by

You can teach us how to do your talent, show and explain your passion,
or do a skit of your journey. Demonstrations should be 5-10 minutes
long. If you think you want to do this, ask Ms. Lamb about your
possibilities.

accomplishment. Songs and raps should have a chorus and three
