EVENT SCHEDULE
SING WITH THE EVERYONE IN HARMONY CHORUS
YOU CAN SING TOO!
The Everyone in Harmony Chorus is a fun way to participate in the Convention irrespective of your contestant status.
Members of the chorus will work with Director Extraordinaire, Steve Tramack, to execute a chord-ringing plan for The Story of the Rose (Heart of my heart), Hello Mary Lou, and From the First Hello. The chorus will pick their 2 favorites and bring them to the contest stage as the mic-testers.
It all begins backstage 1 hour before the start time.
If you are human, you are qualified. Let’s see how big we can make this!
STAGE IS IN THE GRAND BALLROOM. Warmup Rooms: Centerville, Osterville & Orleans
WATCH THE CONTESTS FROM WHEREVER YOU ARE
