She writes:You are cordially invited to the auditions for the 2007 season of the Kenai Performers Victorian Carolers! This will be our 6th season providing great holiday music throughout the central peninsula Wow!
The auditions will be at 3:00 pm, Saturday, October 6th at the Old Town Playhouse in Kenai. Sight-reading is a must for new singers. Prior experience singing carols (in harmony) is a big plus! We always love to have singers that can join us for the entire season ( November 23-December 23), but have often accommodated those who are only available for part of the season hey, we re flexible We just want to sing! Daytime and evening gigs are booked according the availability of the singers.
After auditions you can grab some dinner and then come back for that evening s performance of Sudden Theater! Super!
I already know many of you, and Carol Ford has given me the email address of other folks who sing and just might want to have fun dressing up in Victorian costumes and performing a capella, four-part harmony carols at all sorts of Christmas events from parades and posh parties to gigs requiring hardhats! I ve heard we re even getting new costumes this year
Many of our singers have been with us since the beginning, and while I won t ask returning carolers to audition, those that attend can bust out a few sample tunes and demonstrate the sing n stroll (not as easy as it sounds)!
Please extend this invitation to any other singers you know who would be interested. We get more bookings than we can fill each year and must expand our ranks. I look forward to seeing you at the auditions! Please call or email if you have any questions or concerns
Sincerely, Crista Cady Hippchen
