Share the big stage with your family! The Father/Son/Grandson chorus will perform on the main stage in the Sprint Center Arena on Saturday before the Quartet Finals. Jack and Mike Slamka, bass and lead of Power Play, one of the most beloved quartet champions in our history, will co-direct Love at Home and I Love to Hear That Old Barbershop Style. Rehearsal will be at the Convention Center on Friday, July 8th, 2:30 - 3:30 p.m.
A $20 fee for each singer will cover shipping of sheet music, part-predominant learning media, and a performance shirt to be distributed in Kansas City.
The deadline for sign-up is May 15th. Space will be limited to the first 200 people (due to riser / stage limitations), so don't delay! To register or get more information, please email Mike O'Neill. | You'll Have a Great Time in SINg City! These Guys Will Guarantee It!
