If you are planning to sign up for the karaoke contest at the convention, here is some important info you should read. There are some changes from last year.
- We will start taking signups starting at 2PM on Friday, or when we are fully set up in the room, whichever is later.
- You will need a Fanime Con badge valid for Friday.
- 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, I will come out and direct you into the room. 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.
- The first three people signed up will be in the contest, and can hand in their music at the same time. After that, we will open a waiting list. Don't be sad if you're on the waiting list- last year we took at least several people from it.
- If you are on the waiting list, you will need to come back to the room at 5PM. At 5PM, we will cancel everyone who signed up online but did not check in, and call that number of people from the waiting list. If you're here when we call your name, you're in the contest and then you can then check in. If you're not here when we call your name, we'll go to the next person on the list.
- When it's your turn for 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. If you're not bringing your own music, see here (http://anime-karaoke.com/songLists.php)for a list of the songs we have. If you're using our music, you will need to know the song IDs.
- Contest starts at 6PM!
We will also be taking signups for Gong Show and Acoustikaraoke, so feel free to sign up for those too!
