My son is applying there. He’s performed as a blues/rock guitarist in a band that’s opened for artists such as derek trucks of the Allman Brothers and Leslie West of Mountain. He has a professional video of his bands Halloween performance openeing for derek trucks, where there were several thousand people at Starland ballroom. Part of that will be submitted. Also, he’s written and produced a song that will be his creative submission that he recorded at a professional studio. He is an intern at a recording studio and has also appeared on several CD,s. His focus will be performance. Depending on what your specific talent is, I’d zero in a one key element and show them what you’ve accomplished.
It doesn’t have to be performance related. They have a journalism track as well as a recording focus. You could send an article you wrote or recording you mixed/produced. You don’t have to be the performer.
Hope that helps.
