龙年春晚报名结束 Chinese New Year Performance Sign-Up Has Ended

我们的龙年春晚演出报名得到了学校老师, 学生和家长的热烈响应. 目前报名截止, 我们有三十余个节目报名. 非常感谢大家的热情支持 (同时因演出时间限制我们也遗憾只能通过audition来选拔一些节目登台).  Audition会在十二月上中旬. 我们会在这一两天内通知各报名团体有关audition的详情.

Thanks to many enthusiastic performers, our Chinese New Year Performance has received well over 30 sign-ups! We are really happy and appreciative about such high participating rate, although on the other hand it also means we’ll have a tough time deciding which performances can make it to the final event. The audition will be conducted in early December. We will send out notice of time and place to the performers very soon.
