Contest is for Solo Performances only. No Entry Fee. Entry Forms are available at Giovanni's until 8pm each night of competition. The order in which contestants will perform is determined by random drawing each week. Contestants will perform over the course of a twelve week contest in front of 3 new judges each week. Judges will record scores on paper in the following categories: - vocal ability - stage presence - difficulty of song - audience response Contestants must submit a completed entry form, in person or online, no later than 8pm each week. Late sign ups will not compete that night, but will be signed up for the next week. - Singers sign up and check in by 8. - Singing and jamming for fun from 8:30-9 to warm the room up; singers who wish to sing a warm-up song, just let me know. ❤ - Contestants names are drawn from the bucket to determine the order. Everyone gets up to sing their first song. - Half time show includes performances by our judges. - The judges will record their scores for both songs. When all contestants have performed their second songs, we will tally the rankings in which each singer placed for the night. Rankings will be averaged at the conclusion of the qualifying and semi-final rounds. - Don't worry about choosing a fast song AND a slow song yet. Sing what you want, and we'll ask you to show your diversity during semi finals. ❤ Do look ahead to come up with the most variety you can before you want to repeat one of your greatest hits.
