About Sleigh The Stage
As the holiday season approaches, MYSC is hosting Sleigh-the-Stage, a $1,000 Christmas Musical Competition where youth performers take the spotlight to spread holiday cheer in Markham.
The event will follow an America's Got Talent-style format, with judges asking performers questions to build emotional connections with each performer. If you've got a personal song, a powerful story, or just love singing Christmas tunes, this is your moment to share it!
From classic carols to modern Christmas hits, contestants will compete at MYSC's Sleigh-the-Stage event for a chance to win the $1,000 grand prize.
