Food, drink and song! A meet and greet for SingStrong groups, singers and attendees! Held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel!
This is an awesome party, but it isn’t for everyone. This event is not supervised by SingStrong, South Lakes HS, Rita Gigliotti or any other person or entity. This is not an official SLHS or SingStrong event. No credit is offered at the HS for attendance. No fee is charged for attendance. This is simply the spot where some performers and adult summit attendees will be relaxing after the show. It is not for HS students to attend.
All high school competitors start off right here! HS Competitors should check out this special schedule.
Gather at 10:15 in the main theatre. And be silent as there are other sound checks occurring!
At 10:30 SHARP it will be YOUR turn to soundcheck! Follow the instructions of your director and the sound engineer and enjoy the massive sound system and multitudinous wireless microphones!

Participation will cause you to miss a portion of the Saturday 2PM HS Finals in which the top 8 HS Groups compete.
You will be performing at this concert during the judge’s deliberations.
No special tickets required! Anyone with a ClassPass may attend!
Pro, Semi-Pro, Collegiate and sometimes even HS groups of all types strut their stuff in a casual, non-competitive showcase.
The best High School groups get only 8 minutes of stage time to impress a team of a cappella experts as they compete for trophies. The Single Singers perform while the judges deliberate.
TAKE 6 is the most awarded a cappella group in history. They’ll discuss performance, arranging and more in this intimate seminar setting.
TAKE 6 boasts ten Grammy’s, ten Dove Awards (Gospel Music Awards), Best Jazz Vocal Group honors for seven consecutive years in Downbeat’s prestigious Reader’s and Critic’s Poll, a Soul Train Music Award, BRE (Black Radio Exclusive) Vocal Group of the Year, two NAACP Image Award nominations, induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame and countless other musical and humanitarian citations. Known for dense jazzy chords and wondrously melismatic soloists, this gospel jazz sextet has been heard from New York’s famed Blue Note to the Montreux Jazz Festival, from PBS to ABC-TV specials. Heralded by Quincy Jones as the “baddest vocal cats on the planet!”, TAKE 6 (Claude McKnight, Mark Kibble, Joel Kibble, Dave Thomas, Alvin Chea and Khristian Dentley) boast performances on Saturday Night Live, the Oscars, the Grammys, and have had the honor of performing for four sitting U.S. Presidents. They remain the quintessential and pre-eminent a cappella group in the world. Although these days the group often performs with instruments in other venues, at SingStrong Take 6 returns to their purely a cappella roots. Take 6 performs two times on Saturday night, and the two shows will NOT be the same. Don’t miss this incredible glimpse into the genius of Take 6. [Performing Sat 7PM and Sat 9:30PM]
The Silent Auction (which is actually quite loud) accepts bids from Saturday Morning onwards, but this is the the final 40 minutes of Silent Auction time! The crowds gather and bidding intensifies!
Get unbelievable deals as you bid on a plethora of packages, and every dollar goes right to the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund!
Hotel get-aways? We’ve got em! Hard to find a cappella CDs? We’ve got em? Headshot and recording packages? We’ve got em! Local discounts for every day items? We’ve got those too!
Don’t miss this great chance to do well (for yourself) while you do good (for others)!
All conveniently placed in the cafeteria, between the end of the Sat. 7PM show and the beginning of the Sat. 9:30PM show!
