All music should be tested during the sound check (at the time(s) listed above). Each contestant will be given seven minutes to perform. They may perform one song, or two, but cannot go over the seven minute time limit. One point will be deducted for every 30 seconds over the time limit. There will not be a live band at the show, and contestants MUST provide their own music for the show.
