If you are planning to sign up for the karaoke contest at the convention, here is some important info you should read:
- We will start taking signups starting at 3PM on Friday, or when we are fully set up in the room, whichever is later. There will be no early signups.
- You will need a Fanime Con badge valid for Friday. You also need to know the songs you want to sing. If you're not bringing your own music, see here (http://anime-karaoke.net/songLists.php)for a list of the songs we have. If you're using our music, you will need to know the song IDs.
- If you are going to line up, form a line by the large "Karaoke Room" sign outside of Hall C. If the sign isn't there, form the line by the doors that are closest to Stage Zero. Do not block any hallways or doors. I trust you are all well-mannered and reasonable people, I expect to see an orderly line if there is one.
- If the room is unlocked but empty, do not go in. When we are ready to let people in, a Karaoke staff person will direct you into the room. Listen to the nice karaoke person's directions. The order in which you lined up outside will be the same order inside the room. If you come by after everyone has gone in, just go inside the room.
- When we get to you on the signups, you will need to know the songs you are singing. If you aren't ready with your song choices, we will skip over you to the next person and come back to you when you decide.
- The first 10 people signed up will be in the contest, and can hand in their music at the same time. After #10, we will open a waiting list. Don't be sad if you're on the waiting list- last year we took quite a few people from it.
- Contest starts at 7PM!
We will also be taking signups for Gong Show and Acoustikaraoke, so feel free to sign up for those too!
It's so cool that you have your music list online.

I've got a question. I have a panel I'm running from 6-7pm. Would I still be able to be in the contest? I know it starts at 7, but is it mandatory to get there early?

You need to either check in (if you signed up online) or sign up in person. This can be done between 3-6:30PM in the Karaoke room. Then you are free to go to your panel and return at 7.
Is it possible to sign-up and then come back later to do a warm-up/run-through?
