\*\***NOTE**: The location is in the Upper East Side. I will be DMing new members who RSVP with additional information about the exact location, and the music we are learning. Please check your DMs! Hi there! 👋 Do you love to sing, but only sing in the shower 🚿, when you're alone, or in Karaoke 🎤 ? Have you thought about getting singing lessons (or maybe you've taken some), but they're getting kinda expensive 💰? Do you just need an excuse to sing, or want to make other musical friends? 🎵 ASN is recruiting new members for its singing team. We do both acapella songs, songs with musical accompaniment, as well as duets to help you focus on harmonization, performance, and vocal technique. 😊 You don't need to know how to read music 🎼 or be an especially amazing singer. 🎶 We are an amateur group with people who are passionate about singing, have a strong desire to improve, and want to make more musical friends in a casual judgement free environment! Everyone is always learning and improving and that's ok! 👌 To get the most out of the experience, you should also be willing to study and learn music at home. We will provide resources to help with this as well! 📚 The types of arrangements we typically sing are arranged into an SATB format (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass). You can google these terms and figure out which voice type is most suitable for you. 6 \- 7pm \| Arrive\, chill\, relax\, socialize 7 \- 9pm \| Practice hours Here's a preview of some of our past songs: [Songbird 🕊️] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJPaXFEm7vE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJPaXFEm7vE) [A Million Dreams 🎩] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3osqo-BfK4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3osqo-BfK4) [Can You Feel the Love Tonight 🦁] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62ZEaiGnRFs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62ZEaiGnRFs) [Try Everything 🐇] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAh_hRvj_Lw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAh_hRvj_Lw)

Whether you are an entrepreneur, small business owner, business professional or just someone who wants to meet new people, this event is for you! It's the perfect opportunity to get away from your desk, have some cocktails and network with potential business partners, investors, industry professionals and new clients.... Or make some new friends! We've witnessed countless business connections and friendships form at our past events. We'd say about 70% of the crowd is usually single so it can be a great place to meet someone special as well. A Secret Networking Event is a revolutionary new event that is changing the way people network in NYC. It is a fun and easy way to connect with others in a relaxed, low pressure environment. **SECRET SYMBOL** After you sign up we'll send you an email with a list of different industries and interests to choose from. Each industry/interest will have a different "secret symbol". This secret symbol will let the other event attendees know what industry/industries you're in or what topic/topics you're interested in. Once you select what industry and/or topics you're interested in you'll be directed to a page with printable paper bracelet templates with your secret symbol on them. You can select one industry or multiple industries or topics. If you don't have access to a printer you can simply draw the secret symbol/s on the back of your hand with a marker or pen before arriving at the event. For example... those in the tech industry might have a triangle as their secret symbol... those in the real estate industry might have a square as their secret symbol... those single and looking to potentially meet someone special might have a circle as their secret symbol... those interested in crypto might have a lightning bolt as their secret symbol, etc. Then you simply show up at the venue at the listed start time and get started meeting people. **\*\* EVENT LOCATION IS LISTED ON THE EVENTBRITE PAGE \*\*** *\* QUICK NOTE: THIS IS A MULTI-MEETUP GROUP EVENT. 25 OTHER GROUPS HAVE ALSO BEEN INVITED SO WE'LL BE SURE TO HAVE A GOOD SIZE TURNOUT. THE RSVP LIST ON MEETUP ONLY REFLECTS A SMALL PORTION OF ACTUAL ATTENDEES.* *An email we received about one of our recent events: "Thank you so much for throwing such a great event. The crowd was really great and everyone was super friendly. As a busy professional I don't get that much time to get out and meet people so it was nice to be in such a relaxed environment.
