  • We're only accepting 20 pre-reg sign ups via the form above PER NIGHT. So 20 pre-reg sign ups for Friday, and another 20 pre-reg sign ups for Saturday.

  • The form will close either after all 20 spots for both nights have been filled, or on Tuesday, July 19th, 2022 at midnight, whichever comes first.

  • They are first-come first-serve.

  • We are also only accepting 1 form per performer to make as much room and opportunity for as many people as possible to perform.

  • We will be reaching back out to accepted performers with a queue number. This will be when they expect to perform that night. If their number is 1, they'll be the first to perform. If it's 2, they'll be the second, and so on.

  • We will have a limited number of spots available for sign-ups at the event itself. The performers that sign up and get these limited spots the day of will perform after all of the performers that have pre-registered have a chance to perform. These limited number of spots will be available regardless of whether or not we have 20 pre-registered performers per-night, but the number of spots available will change depending on if we have a maximum number of 20 pre-registered people that night, or if we have less than that. Sign ups for these spots will begin about 15-30 minutes before the actual event starts

  • We will be using 2 different karaoke apps this year: Karafun, and Karaoke Mugen. Both of these karaoke apps have catalogues that people can search beforehand so they can see if the song they'd like to sing is available. Karafun is more oriented towards popular and classic songs of all genres of music, while Karaoke Mugen primarily focuses on anime and video-game music. the catalogues can be found here:
