Who gets to be in the Credit Union Christmas Pageant?
Credit Union staff play the roles of the pageant characters, bands play on a rotation system so we are happy to receive enquiries from bands, performance groups are selected to suit pageant needs. On occasions we receive great ideas from performance groups and if they fit our artistic directional needs there is a chance you might be asked to participate.
How can I be a part of the pageant?
There are a number of ways to be a part of the Credit Union Christmas Pageant including volunteering, but to be a character in the pageant you generally need to work at one of the sponsoring credit unions (or be a friend or family member). Occasionally there are competitions that enable credit union members or the general public to get involved; for example, every year we run the "Win the ride of a lifetime" competition on the pageant website. Our media partners also tend to run competitions to win positions. Keep an eye on theirs and the pageant website for competitions. Good luck!
