70's & 80's Theme Show Oct. 25 at the Knitting Factory

The Theme Show
~{ "70's & 80's" }~

In past years, our Spring Shows were themed - one Music for the "Soul", a "50s & 60s Spring Themed Show" and before that we had an "ALL ABOUT THAT JAZZ" that featured music spanning with a range of Standards from the 1920s to 1940s, Musical Theatre songs with Jazz influences, as well as some current tunes with a new but Jazzy style arrangement!!!

This year, we are having a 1970's & 1980's Show featuring a Live Band! This will show intermediate students ready to work and showcase their talents with a live professional band in the style and technique of Vintage Music. It will be a show that has a range of Music Standards from the Era, songs from different styles and genres with influences from R&B, Pop, Rock, Soul, Country to Blues, as well as some current tunes with a new but sophisticated style arrangement.

Students - Things to know for the Spring Themed Show

Song Choice

70's & 80's Songs give a different musical technical background ability to musicians and singers, which most often otherwise, never get an opportunity to experience. This Theme show requires a 70's & 80's selection, musical theatre piece that is from that genre inspired or a current song contemporary song but only if it is of the theme style rendition.

Practice, Practice, Practice!

Soul Music from any era, the technique is a very difficult and complicated musical style to learn because of all the flats and sharps that are incorporated in a song. Preparatory Lessons to be able to have time to develop the skills to sing theme style standards are imperative for a good performance. The time is now to practice, practice, practice with your musical coach to hone those skills.

Students that are unable to dedicate the time to study with their coach, consistently work on their craft for the show or miss a mandatory rehearsal, may not have the opportunity to sign up and perform for the Spring Show.

The sign sheet, for pre-intermediate students and up only, is on the bulletin board in the studio. Call to Schedule Lessons Today to begin selecting a song and working on material.

Performing with Live Band on Stage

Performing with a Live Band for a show is a completely different Ball Game then performing with instrumental tracks. In preparing for this Spring Themed Show, Students will be able to learn band cues and work with a Musical Director to coordinate their pieces.

The sign up sheet for this show will be for pre-intermediate students, and up only, for they have measured at a consistent level, passed the nerves of performing and their ear has been trained to a relative or perfect pitch, which are crucial parts for a band to follow a singer. These selected students are at the level to be able experience the next step of performing and learning how to work with a band.

Band Rehearsal

There will be a Rehearsal with the Band the week of the show in a rehearsal space. Students must be at the band rehearsal(s) or they will not be able to participate in the show because once again, performing with a live band is a different feeling then performing with instrumental tracks.
