Yes. A rehearsal time limit of 10 minutes per act is allowed. If chosen, you will be notified of the rehearsal time. Contestants will rehearse and perform in the order in which they were chosen.
 
Can I use pre-recorded music?
Only on your audition tape. Make sure your voice is dominating the recording. If the judges cannot hear your voice clearly, you will not be chosen as a contestant. No pre-recorded music is allowed at our local competition. All acts requiring music must use our Back-Up Band, your band or play acoustically. If you are using your own original song, you must provide WIFE the chord charts when submitting your audition tape.

Do I have to sing the same songs as my audition tape in the local competition?
Yes.

Do I have to use the same band members from level to level of the competition?
Yes. You can only drop members from your band, you can never substitute or add to your original performing act.

What if I have a complaint?
If it involves the WIFE show, you need to place your complaint in writing to WIFE radio station.
Phone calls will not be accepted.

What is the time limit on my songs?
There is no time limit on songs during our local competition.
