A message about a fun event from NYCGMC, a member of FGG member GALA Choruses:

New York City Gay Men’s Chorus presents the opportunity of a lifetime! We are offering you the chance to sing with the chorus and full band in our up-coming ‘Big Gay Sing 4′ concert, which will take place on either Friday March 16th or Saturday March 17th at 8pm at NYU’s Skirball Center for the Performing Arts in New York City.

Entering is easy! Just read the rules and then follow the simple instructions carefully. [ALL LINKS HERE]

The Rules – Please Read These Carefully Before Entering

How to enter: Entries to the competition will initially be by a Video or MP3 audio file of you singing only the first 32 measures of Adele’s ‘Someone Like You’, exactly as printed in one of the two pdf files below. If female, it is important that you sing the one in female key, and if male, the male key. The chosen winners will perform the entire song at the concert, but we only need 32 measures for the audition. Please note that to enter, you MUST sing the appropriate audition piece in the key given A Capella (without accompaniment). Videos and MP3′s with photo submitted will appear on our website.

The Selection process: Once all the entries are in, we will then select up to 2 finalists – One for the 16th and one for the 17th. Each will sing on one of the two nights.

Your availability: To enter you must be available at both of the following times:
Tuesday March 13th from 7-9pm, at a rehearsal studio in Manhattan, for a 20 minute meeting and rehearsal with the Artistic Director and Director of the show.
Friday March 16th and/or Saturday March 17th for your performance. Please keep both nights free. The call time will be 7pm. Please note, we may also need you on the afternoon of your performance day for a 5-10 minute sound check at some point between 2 and 5pm.

Exclusions: Entries are open to any member of the public over 18 who can make themselves available at both times required. We welcome the family and friends of chorus members, as well as members of other GALA choruses and choirs in New York City. However, current or past members of NYCGMC may not apply.

Deadline: All entries must be uploaded to our server by midnight March 11, 2012. If shortlisted, we will call and email you on the 12th, and we will need to speak to you by phone that day, to confirm your rehearsal time on the 13th, which will be between 7 and 9pm.
