Hi Potential Idol Participants,



By this time you have gazed at the posters and received the promotional emails. But the question is have you signed up? My name is Walt Cunningham and I am the creator/producer of Dartmouth Idol. If the answer to the above question is no, let me share with you why you should. Stated simply, it is not only the winner/finalists who benefit from participating in Idol; Quite the contrary. And you should know that participants have come from all walks of campus life: from athletes to artists, affiliated and non-affiliated, we've had everyone!



Over the years I have used the talents and gifts of many of the show's participants, not just those who make the finals. While not to minimize the accomplishments of those who have done well, the selection process can have an arbitrary component to it. That said, the idol team values the opportunity to meet and witness your gift. Future involvement in the work that we do is based on just that...your gift. So come out, if for no other reason, so the idol team and I know you exist here at Dartmouth. If you don't come, we can't possibly know what you have to offer.



Please enjoy this video of some recent performance highlights:

I look forward to seeing you at the auditions. Please take a chance. You never know what it may lead to in your future!



Best,

Walt C.?
