Holiday Greetings!

We hope this mailing finds you enjoying this holiday season with family and friends (and food) - but we're already looking ahead to the biggest a cappella event of 2007...

This year, rather than attaching the entry forms, I've made them available online (easier on everybody's mailbox).  There's two .PDF documents to look at:

If you're interested in entering the Sweepstakes, please print out the "Entry Form" .PDF file, fill it out, and send it to us with a current recording.  Remember a few things:

• The deadline for receiving entries is January 5th, 2007.
• The show is Saturday, March 24th, 2007 at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie, IL, at 7:30 pm.
• All groups will need to submit an audition recording with at least two songs. (CDs or MP3s strongly preferred)
• Groups must have at least three and no more than eight members.

Note:  Starting this year, the Sweeps will accept groups up to EIGHT members!  In years past, we could only accept up to 7, which eliminated a lot of mixed groups (SSAATTBB).  With the new higher limit, I'm hoping we'll see all sorts of new groups come out of the woodwork!

If you've never opened .PDF files before, you can get a reader from www.acrobat.com.  If you have problems with receiving attachments, or with printing out the .PDF files, please contact us and we'd be happy to send you the forms by mail (it's just faster and cheaper this way).
