OJCL’s Got Talent! at the State Convention! (2-11-2026)

• The talent at the Ohio Junior Classical league convention is amazing. Friday night auditions are 10:30-11:45, and Saturday’s show is 9:30-11:00 PM. Your acts should be school and JCL appropriate. Everyone is looking forward to your participation!
• Plan on limiting your audition to 2 minutes and if you perform in the show, the performance may be up to 4 minutes. The judges may choose to excuse you during the performance if necessary (no hard feelings, we want to protect you, the student).
• We plan to have a microphone and cd player for accompaniment. Music should be in cd format for ease of presentation. Mr. Gentle and Mr. Barnes are the coordinators of the event.
• SCL/OJCL judges will preview the acts on Friday and choose the finalists for Saturday’s show.
