Dear HOOT! Family,
"Social distancing" is the very antithesis of HOOT!, but when the time comes to dodge serious cooties then dodge them we must. HOOT! will be on hiatus until it becomes truly safe to share microphones again. Which is not to say HOOT! will be inactive! Stay tuned for an announcement about our first HOOT! On Record project - and a few other things, long on the back burner, which can finally come to light. And when washing, know that your hands aren't clean until you've entirely sung, The Beatles' "Her Majesty". Also, since this will be a rough passage for all public arts companies, please consider making a donation to the eternal HOOT! effort so we don't go bust before again taking the stage. DONATE! PayPal Send to: sing@hootexclamationpoint.com Choose "gift". Thanks to you all, and KEEP HEALTHY! We have a lot more songs to sing. |

THE RULES
1. Cover songs only.* 2. One song (approx. 5 mins) per singer. You may provide unlimited musical support (by invitation) to other performers. Keep intros short. 3. Don't be too ambitious! While we welcome combos and variety, please try to aim high with minimal accompaniment (think voices more than instruments). It's tricky to get the sound balances right (and promptly) for twenty different acts. When it falls apart, the bigger the group, the bigger the mess. 4. Quick set-up. We use a PA with 4 inputs. We prefer that you plug your instruments directly into the system. If you prefer using an amp, consult with us. 5. A piano is available at Albany & San Rafael HOOT!s. 6. No "sing & scram". Every performer deserves an audience, and HOOT! is designed to be a group effort. 7. You may perform solo, duo, small group, a capella, instrumental - however you see fit. (But re-read Rule #3). 8. KNOW YOUR SONG! HOOT! is a supportive and forgiving community, but it's taxing for the audience if you take the stage unprepared. Try not to depend on lyric sheets, and REHEARSE, REHEARSE, REHEARSE. You don't need to be perfect but you need to be READY. 9. $10 in the hat for all attendees, performing and non. *Original songs are occasionally permitted, but must be credited to PAUL ANKA.
