This lunch is an optional, fun meet-up for the Single Singers.
The Single Singers is an a cappella group open to any singer at any level who is willing to learn the material on his or her own, prior to coming to SingStrong, and willing to perform on stage after just one day together!
We won’t have time to plunk notes so make sure you know your part cold! (You’ll also need a weekend pass or class pass to participate.)
Contact your director for learning materials and get ready to sing your heart out!
You will be performing at the Saturday 2PM concert during the judge’s deliberations.
All high school competitors start off right here to soundcheck.
If you are a HS Competitor, your schedule may look like this.
Harmony in the morning?! Yes please! Early birds will delight and late risers will get the blood going as members of the incredible, award-winning Midtown barbershop quartet teach everyone a few tags! And, for non-barbershoppers, what are tags? They are the best part of the songs, the rich part, the part that sends it over the top. And YOU’LL be the one singing, so pick your part and come out to this hands-on class! Competitors, this just might be the class that helps you take your blend to the next level! So don’t think it only applies to barber shoppers. This class is for all singers!
Star of Lifetime’s TV show, “PitchSlapped,” Diana Preisler is known as “The ACA-COACH.”
Diana says this: “They see you louder than they hear you.”
The Broadway performer, film actress (Oscar Nominated “Chico and Rita”), singer and manager of Blue Jupiter will show you how to make that message work for you. Groups will hop on stage and have their performance crafted to perfection.
This seminar is one of our most popular! Have your group come ready to perform!
Improvising Vocal Arrangements -even with a choir-sized group – is easier than you think! Using a combination of improvisation games from Bobby McFerrin, Rhiannon, Roger Treece, Michelle Weir and more, participants will learn several methods of creating pop vocal arrangements.
All the games and exercises can be applied to any singing group -whether your ensemble is large or small, or even occasionally sings (gasp!) with instruments (we won’t tell anyone).

Christian Fris-Ronsfeld teaches this class about stage presence and energy!
How do I find the right energy on stage ?
How do we ensure that our choir performance doesn’t just sound great, but also looks great ?
How can we unify and synchronise our movements as a group while still maintaining our individuality and perform with integrity ?
In this workshop we learn a few methods of how we can move in a choir with a sense of style and authenticity.
These methods are not just theoretical, but we will apply them straight away with songs and pieces of sample
music. Our focus is on how to be in contact and interaction with our fellow singers and on being conscious how our movements can affect an audience.
We’ll work with different levels of energy that can help amplify the musical expression.
Expect this to be fun – Let’s get the party started !
