Thank you for your interest in joining the BLINK Parade Ensemble Chorus! The BLINK Parade will take place on Thursday, October 17th - 8pm, downtown, call time likely beginning at 5pm (route info will be shared privately until public promotion on 10/10).
We are assembling a large ensemble choir to add an extra special spark to the BLINK Parade ceremony this year. Two primary songs/excerpts will be performed: This Little Light of Mine (exact arrangement to be confirmed) and You Can't Stop the Beat from the musical Hairspray. Vocalists will sing an excerpt/cut from these pieces and not the full songs.
There is an OPTIONAL opportunity to voice choral parts for two additional songs: Light of the World from Godspell, and Out of the Darkness from Everybody's Talking About Jamie. Vocalists will sing an excerpt/cut from these pieces and not the full songs. Please indicate your interest in participating below.
Please note: this is the first year we are assembling a choir for the BLINK Parade. We are hoping to include as many singers as are interested! We recognize that we are working on a VERY tight timeline which may not support all interested groups/individuals participating. Thank you for experimenting with us and for your patience and flexibility as we try out something new. There will be hiccups and maybe some last minute shifts along the way - we appreciate your understanding.
Our primary rehearsal venue will be First Lutheran Church in Over-the-Rhine (address below). This venue is not fully ADA accessible. While we do have very limited time and capacity to facilitate additional rehearsals, please let us know if accessibility is a barrier for your participation and we will do our best to coordinate an alternative offering for those who may need/want it.
We are planning to record vocal "backtracks" which can be shared out to chorus members to assist with practice from home. Details below.
Please read carefully and complete this form to confirm your participation as a Parade singer/performer.
