I went to the Canada’s Next Star audition with my kids.  We got there at 6am and stayed until about 2pm.  Therefore, there are a few things that you should do before you go.

• Be ready for rain or shine.  Bring an umbrella in case it rains.
• Bring some food and drinks.  A parent can leave to get some food and drinks from a nearby store and/or restaurant, but having some beforehand does not hurt.
• Bring some entertainment.  It is a long wait, therefore, a good book, newspaper, and/or portable gaming system are good for those long lineups.
• Bring a portable chair and/or a yoga mat.  If it is not raining, a portable chair and/or a yoga mat comes in handy when you have to wait for a couple of hours.
• Bring a pair of earplugs.  It does get noisy at times because of screaming kids.  Since this is an audition for a TV show, they will take shots of screaming fans and will require some enthusiasm.

• Bring a camera.  It is the kids time to shine.  They will want to remember the day they went to an audition for a TV show.  My kids did not make it, but they had fun.

It seems that the link that I have provided is deleted.  Therefore, I will provide a link to the generic next star website at http://nextstar.ytv.com/index.aspx.

When the Next Star comes to Canada again, I will provide a link to it.
