2010 Chinese New Year Gala Karaoke Advance Sign Up process
1. Each Karaoke performance arranged in advance will go hand to hand with dancing by Gala attendees, and therefore the song/music needs to fall to one of the dancing categories, Waltz, Rumba, Cha Cha, Disco/Rock, Tango, Swing/Jitbug, Blues/Foxtrot, etc.
2. Well-known songs to the Gala attendees are preferred.
3. Recruiting singing volunteers in advance will be conducted through some Gala organizers or sponsors. Each volunteer needs to submit e-mail address, phone number, a song name, length of the music, dancing type, etc., to the Karaoke/dancing coordinator(s) mentioned below, due ASAP before Feb. 4. On site sign up during the event will also be available.
4. Dancing and Karaoke "experts" will review volunteers and songs. Not all submitted may be endorsed because of limited time available, suitable for the attendees or dancing, etc.
5. The coordinator(s) will propose final name list and order for the Gala performance management team to review or approve. The info can be listed on the program book such as singer name, org or sponsor, song name, and dance type. The coordinator(s) will review on site sign up entries. As a privately organized event, we reserve the right to decline a singing entry submitted.
6. Each singer is advised to bring a CD in case the song to be performed isn't available or matching on the DJ or Karaoke system. A Karaoke rehearsal may be conducted if necessary.
7. We may conduct attendees' voting for best Karaoke singers and/or best dancing songs. Time/format TBD.
