WHERE?
St. John’s United Church of Christ banquet room, 415 Park Street, Newport,
KY
WHEN? Saturday, November 19, 2011 – 6-8pm-ish
WHAT WILL I DO? Perform onstage at a benefit by singing one or more of your
favorite songs for an appreciative (and captive) audience. Solos, duets,
trios, etc. are welcome!
WHAT’S THE ACCOMPANIMENT? Piano, bass and drums (pro pit group).
WHAT’S THE REPETOIRE? Broadway, standards, 50’s-70’s pop/rock. See
http://www.bway2.com/tracks for some ideas.
WHAT WOULD I WEAR? Something non-jeans, band will be in black/black.
REHEARSALS? None scheduled, you can drop be early that afternoon
(1pm-2pm-ish as needed) and run your music with the band. It’s more of a
“have fun” vs. “formal concert” type of event for those that have a (some)
favorite song(s) that they can just jump in and perform!
AM I GETTING PAID? No, it’s a benefit, and they’re only charging
$25/plate..
WELL, WHAT ABOUT FREE FOOD? Oh yes! Every participant is welcome to a free
meal at the event.
CAN I STICK AROUND? Sure, root for the other performers, and they’ll have a
silent auction and a “not silent” (I’m not sure how to phrase that) auction..
CAN I BRING FRIENDS? Non-performers would have to pay to get in. Exceptions
could be made, but there won’t be a lot of excess space/chairs/tables available.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I’M INTERESTED?
Contact me (Rick Ashworth) via email (rick@bway2.com) or phone
(859-727-1279), and we can pick out msuic that both you and I know.. I’ll
be setting up the time slots 5 minutes/song apart. You need to be there 15
minutes ahead of time to check in, sing your song(s), then stay for the
others, or run off, your choice!
If you like singing with a pro band to accompany you, you’ll have a great time!
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO DECIDE? I need to know by November 12, 2011.
Thanks for any assist!
All my best,
Rick Ashworth
