What do you have against a capella soloist?

Nothing, Just forgot to include it in the title. Notice the "choral" part of the original post.

*BUMP* Any musical talent is encouraged to perform! There is an audition required, or at least a confirmation that you're actually going to do something musical and not get up there and belch the National Anthem or something.

i'm down with slayer, but i have to break into an aria about unrequited love in chinese.

3/17/2006 3:13:26 PM

belching the national anthem would actually be impressive.

3/17/2006 3:28:14 PM

^^^How'd the guys get through that performed a bunch of distortion and then John Cage's 4:33 or was that a different event?

POSTPONED

Due to lack of participation (we only had 3 acts sign up), we will be postponing MusicFEST (probably to the week before Dead Week). More info to come.
