Contest Checklist
Alan Burt, VP Chapter Development, Rogue Valley Chapter, Medford, Oregon
The Preceding Month
- Attend any extra rehearsals. Keep focused and keep talking to a bare minimum.
- Be sure you made your motel reservations.
- Get a haircut to look your best.
- Drink plenty of water between now and the contest. Bring a water bottle to the contest if you must, but remember: if you are not well hydrated days before your performance, drinking copious quantities of water on contest day much too late. In fact it can thin the natural lubricants that coat your throat, to your disadvantage.
- Check that you have all the parts of your uniform including your shirt and the correct colored socks.
At the Contest
- Everyone must be registered to sing at the contest. Pickup your registration at the headquarters hotel, or in the lobby of the auditorium. Check the times when the registration packages will be available.
- Arrive in plenty of time so you are well rested for the contest.
- Do check out the Barbershoppers Shop. You will find learning tapes, music, CD's, clothing, pitch pipes, and memorabilia available for you.
- Listen carefully for directions on where to be and when to be there for warmup, contest flow, and pictures. - Don't wander off on your own and leave your fellow barbershoppers to worry what happened to you.
- Do makeup and dress and then leave some time to relax and to get yourself centered and prepared to do your very best.
On Stage
- Do have fun with your singing. Let the audience know with your face and body that you like what you are doing, and that you love performing for them.
- Sing to fully entertain the audience. Everything else will automatically take care of itself.
- Enjoy the convention and the fellowship with your fellow barbershoppers and friends!
- Break a leg!
