The Silverbells Carolers are currently seeking one soprano and 2 altos
to join our company.  Check out our new website for info on the
company at www.silverbellscarolers.com
We rehearse 2 nights a week:  Sun nights all groups with a music
director and one other night with individual quartets (flex night per
the group).  No pay for the rehearsal time but $30/hr performance
pay.  Last year our 2 groups needing singers sang 30-40 hours.
There are about 70 songs in our rep but we carry books with the music
so memorization isn't necessary.  Good sight reading and quick
learning as well as excellent harmony singing are a must.
Call Valerie at 206-551-7804 or email at valvest@... for an
audition time or more information.  We are looking at auditioning
Sunday evening 8/21 at Renton Civic Theatre.  If this time doesn't
work call anyway and we can arrange another time to hear you.

moosebutter seeks bass for full-time position beginning June 2006

maybe a different voice part 'cuz one of us can sing bass, too, but he
doesn't really want to.  So I guess you can inquire if you are not of
the bass persuasion.  Or if you're a bass in The Persuasions.

You: Bass singer, a cappella experience, preferably able to percuss
(limited) at the same time, and of course you are an acutely
intelligent person who will look smashing in a red jumpsuit and
headband.  Formal vocal training good, real-world performing experience
nice, cooking skills a definite plus, comedy experience might be cool
but it was probably just you doing an old Bill Cosby routine at your
school talent show so that doesn't count, comedy and music
improvisation skill also kosher, writing and arranging abilities blah
blah brilliant sight-reader yada yada perfect pitch sumthin mumble
michael bolton.  If you are deft at live-animal eating or
double-jointed-ness please keep it to yourself.

Us: moosebutter

The deal-ey-oh:

Submit resume and audio samples by May 15, sooner if possible

Please include a detailed list of experience and skills - list any all
things you can bring to the group, including business areas.
Instruments played, etc.  Also, personal experience and favorite
musical topics you would most like to present in context of an
educational program, and how you would present them (musical examples
singable by 3-4 dudes would be good here).

Oooo!  Oooo!  Ooo!  Also, yeah, if you are proficient at setting
up/working sound equipment and/or recording and editing recordings,
then we shall hug you tenderly, brush you with olive oil, and staple
you to the wall so all generations can adore your skills.

If we schedule an audition we'll expect you to learn a bunch of songs
and come sing with us to see if we like you.

More: We are clean-living (no drinking, no smoking, no drugs, no loose
women, no kung-fu movies unless from the 70's) and expect our show and
our business lives to reflect this.  Foul humor, unethical behavior,
poor role-modeling for kids will not be tolerated.  There will be small
kids on the road with us, and we'll be performing for lots of kids as
well as families in addition to our sold-out arena shows with our
opening band IRON MAIDEN.  We don't even swear, so don't apply if
that's too weird for you.

You'll be expected to learn a lot of music and do a lot of shows
quickly, jive with the chemistry and direction of the group, and
occasionally prance like a noble antelope if that's what the paying
public wants to see.  Health and personal commitments should allow for
rigorous touring regime.

If hired, you will be asked to relocate to the Boulder, Colorado area,
learn a ton of music on your own, take part in continuing voice lessons
and musical study, and maintain your own happy life when not on the
road or performing.

Further details can certainly be discussed.

(just North of the corner of 11th and Pine Street)
Purchase tickets at the door, $5 to $10 sliding scale.
Call 206-715-1395 for more information.

Baudboys are an all-male a capella group composed entirely of
Microsoft employees. Risking the wrath of fellow employees, they
rehearse in on-campus conference rooms, singing a variety of popular
and original music. The group's members are drawn from product teams
across the company, and as The Baudboys, they boast a wealth of
musical training and performing experience. They have performed to
audiences in a variety of venues, from nursing homes and schools to
major festivals and sporting events. True to their profession,
the "baud" part of their name refers to the method by which computer
modem speeds were once rated.

DISH formed in late 2004 with the intention of creating sassy,
original and musically excellent a cappella for the queer women's
community. They recruited potential singers through the magic of
Craigslist, and after a rigorous audition process found the seven
sparkling personalities they call DISH. Dirty, Delisha, Diva, Sugar,
Candy, Saucy and Deep DISH offer up some scrumptious a cappella.
Because traditional women's a cappella doesn't cater to the bottom
range, they write many of their own arrangements. Their self-titled
first album was released this year and they recently performed the
Star Spangled Banner for the Rat City Rollergirls bout. Watch for
DISH's special guest appearance with the Seattle Lesbian and Gay
Chorus June 10 and 11.

We're building/writing/creating our Christmas repertiore, which
includes the classics, new arrangements, and comedy (PDQ Bach is just
the beginning...)

Songs are all body-instrument, Bobby McFarin style; traditional
quartet experience is not required. This is inventive, creative, and
highly stylized singing, polished to performance grade. Think Cirque
Du Soliel in voices. Now mix in Christmas music and themes.

We'll book gigs, sing on the MAX, sing on the streets downtown, and
show up for the big Christmas Tree lighting in Pioneer Courthouse
Square. We also frequent private parties of friends.

We practice once a week through the summer, plus song-writing sessions
as we like, then twice a week in the fall, and start performing on the
day after Thankgiving.

If this sounds like something that you'd like... and if you've ever
had the feeling that you wanted to be a synthesizer when you grew
up... email me!

Cheers,
--Katin
