Come Sing Show Tunes!

Thu, Nov 19, 3:15 AM

From Berkeley Broadway Musicals Singing Group (In Person)

4.9

This event consists of an informal concert in which the performers are all of us! We'll take turns singing Broadway show tunes. All musical levels are welcome, whether you're an aspiring musical theater star or just someone who belts out show tunes in the shower. If you feel shy about singing a solo, it's okay to come and listen. We'll also do some group singing. Please think ahead and pick one or two solos you'd enjoy singing (this is not a firm commitment, you can change your mind if you get the jitters). Depending on how many people choose to sing, you'll either get to sing one or both of your songs. We don't usually have an accompanist, so after you pick your song(s), you can search for a suitable accompaniment on YouTube. Once you've found an accompaniment you like, please add a link for your accompaniment to this spreadsheet so we can have it ready to play at the gathering: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ftn_81hdqtmYb8_QlKhpyzlu4FwKDDRZGZ3YT2x8qc8/edit?gid=0#gid=0 In the second hour of the gathering we'll schmooze and do more informal singing, and eat snacks -- (optional) feel free to bring a snack to share. For covid safety, please don't attend if you or a household member have ANY cold or flu symptoms, or if you were recently exposed to covid or flu. We will have open windows and air purifiers running.

We are going to spend the first chunk of the afternoon chatting one-on-one with other fans. The Gist IRL app takes the guesswork out by matching you up, giving us an easy way to talk football, trade predictions, and see who we really click with. Once the rounds wrap up, the best part starts. You get to pick the folks you had the best time chatting with and team up. We will grab a table together, order up some drinks and game-day snacks, and settle in to watch the game. By kickoff, you're sitting with an energized group of fellow fans to cheer on every play together. Whether this turns into your regular Sunday football watch crew or just an awesome afternoon of high-fives and touchdowns, it is going to be a blast. The Plan: - 4:30 PM: Check-In. Follow the link to set up your quick profile on your phone to get started. - 4:35 PM - 5:25 PM: One-on-One Rounds. The app pairs you for focused chats. Find out who shares your game-day superstitions, fantasy football takes, and love for the Niners. - 5:25 PM+: Form Groups. Reconnect with your favorite matches to form a squad of 4-6. Together, you will grab a table, order food and drinks, and settle in for kickoff together. **RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/WxizruzDuOxmxNyEIMJF **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later**
