New Youth Ministry Resource: America’s Got Talent
If reality TV has taught us anything recently, it’s the variety show is never going to die.
Just Released Today: THE AMERICA’S GOT TALENT PACKAGE Available Right Now For Subscribers!
When “America’s Got Talent” became the rage a couple of years ago, we decided to capitalize on the success and put on our show which we called “Emerica’s Got Talent” (because our youth group name was called “EPIC”).
We built a stage set that included miked judges who’s stage setup had lighted up X’s that could be controlled locally.
Depending on what kind of crowd you have (and how many students you have coming to your gatherings) you can do a one-time big event or stretch it out like we did for about 6 weeks and milk it for all it’s worth.
So know you’re crowd before making this decision.
HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS TO MAKING THIS A HUGE SUCCESS:
- Do ridiculous biographical sketches of each contestant. Backstage and bio videos are great.
- Have a terrific onstage host who can direct traffic.
- Pick 3 witty judges who are “experts” on talent. Try to pick teenagers out of your group.
IF YOU’RE USING AGT FOR MULTIPLE WEEKS
- Post video of each week’s competition online to encourage more participation.
- Show video recaps before each week’s show.
- Create a video montage intro with contestants
- Share videos on FB & Myspace
CAUTION:
- Prep your teen judges and make sure they know that though it’s tongue & cheek, to make sure they’re not
personal or mean to contestants.
We got killed by this one night, and there’s almost nothing you can do once it happens.
