Audition reminder! (Please tell your friends?) + First arrangement in MIDI

Thanks to my dear friend Mandy (an award-winning a cappella arranger!) my group has its first arrangement. We will be learning Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen. Here’s a midi version of her work. Yeah, it sounds like a piano right now. But I love it, and I think it’ll be awesome!

Also… I thought I’d take this as an opportunity to remind everyone the audition details. (I know, I know. Here I go again.)

I’d really, really appreciate it if you could help spread the word to any of your singer folk friends. This is going to be an incredible and exciting group once it’s officially formed, and we want to find as much talent as possible to be a part of it.

When: Monday, July 28th 7-9:30pm.

Where: St. Paul’s Church (15 Saint Paul St, Brookline, MA)

How to Prep: Be ready to sing a verse and a chorus of your favorite song, a cappella style. Other tests include a call and response exercise and sight reading.

Appointments: Auditions will be held in 10-minute intervals between 7-9:30pm. We suggest emailing prior to the audition day to schedule an appointment. Otherwise, walk-ins are absolutely welcome.

Thank you so much to those of you who have been incredibly supportive throughout this whole process. You guys are the best. We’ll sing for you whenever you want :)

And.. now for something silly!–This is from my old group, Boston University’s Chordially Yours. I’ve tweeted about this video before, but I still think it’s a lot of fun. I mean… do YOU sing on the T?

That is so damn cool! It reminds me of stuff my friends and I used to do more often… “Lindy bombing” (break out into swing dancing in the middle of a cafe). Always so much fun to see folks’ faces, especially the reactions of kids :-)

That afternoon was one of the most fun times I’d ever had with my group. The best part was the other passenger’s reactions. :)

But dancing… well! If you could pull that off on a train, I’d be impressed. Haha.
