Since this is a 2-day event... we are working with a local Hotel, a beautiful Hilton property, to secure a special DISCOUNTED RATE for Academy Members! ?Grab your 4some ~ grab roomies - the Academy CODE and all Hotel info will go out later this week.
Also, we have 2 Lunches and don't want to waste a Minute of SING TIME!, so there will be info on Lunching options sent too!
?
At the Academy, you will receive a “dance card” when you arrive with everyone’s name on it, and stickers with your name on them. Your goal is to try to get everybody’s sticker on your dance card, so you have a chance to sing with many different voices. There will be an identifier for those of you looking for others to form a quartet.
?
In addition, there will be the coveted Summa Cum Laude Singer award. Think about who you most enjoyed singing with in your quartets - she should be encouraging, she should know her music cold, and make everybody sound as good as they can.??Each Academy student will have a chance to vote, and then will present some awards!!
