Async Lip Sync

Event Description:

Lip Sync Performance (Solo or Group)

Competitors may perform individually or in groups of up to four (4) students. Each entry will present a fully choreographed lip-sync performance to a single song lasting 3–6 minutes.

• Audio Requirements:
• The performance must use one continuous song (no mixes or mashups), unless the piece is performed that way in the original musical or official version
• Edited versions of songs are allowed and encouraged (e.g., trimming length, adjusting intros/outros, or creating clean cuts), as long as the final track remains a single, continuous piece
• All music must be school-appropriate and pre-approved by a coach or team director
• Performance Rules:
• Performers must lip-sync only — no live vocals, speaking, or added sounds by participants during the performance
• Emphasis should be placed on precision synchronization with the track
• Creativity & Production Value:
  Competitors are strongly encouraged to elevate their performance through:
• Choreography (movement, staging, and energy)
• Synchronization (timing with lyrics and among group members)
• Characterization and storytelling
• Costumes and costume changes
• Props and visual elements (creative, thematic, and well-integrated)
• Exploration of diverse music genres (pop, musical theatre, hip-hop, country, rock, international music, etc.)
• Judging Criteria:
  Performances will be evaluated based on:
• Synchronization and timing
• Choreography and stage presence
• Creativity and originality
• Use of costumes and props
• Overall entertainment value

This event rewards bold, creative performances—competitors are encouraged to take risks, think theatrically, and fully commit to their concept.
