What’s New Apr 2007
Well, the Songburst ’07 singing competition has been a huge success! Hundreds of contestants turned out for the competition and the cameras were rolling. With the “Finals” yet to occur, there is great excitement and anticipation among the contestants. We’ll give you a complete “SongBurst” update on our website, www.KaraokeScene.com, as well as in our next issue.
We would like to thank our prize sponsors for Songburst ’07, Ace Karaoke, VocoPro, and ProSound. Their support and generosity is very much appreciated. The Karaoke community is fortunate to have fine companies like these who are consistently so supportive of important events such as this. We would also like to thank Mark Warshaw Productions for their cooperation, courtesy and support of Songburst ’07. They have worked tirelessly in putting together a quality product and we wish them great success in marketing the show for television.
KaraokeFest 2007 is coming on September 15 th at the fabulous L.A. County Fair in Pomona. For the first time, KaraokeFest will be held on a Saturday. Think of it, we can all have our day-long Karaoke party on Saturday, September 15 th, and then have a whole day to relax and recharge our batteries on Sunday…sounds very good to me. Also, the “Fair” is open longer on Saturday; the hours are 10am – midnight. All of the details for KaraokeFest 2007 will be available at www.KaraokeScene.com and in our next issue.
As KaraokeFest 2007 approaches, we are nearing the time for the “Oscars” of Karaoke, the “Karaoke Golden Achievement Awards.” These awards are so important because they provide a way to honor those in the Karaoke community whose special contributions should be recognized. These awards are actually rewards for those people and venues that rise above the norm and make a significant, positive difference to Southern California Karaoke. Whether it is being an outstanding KJ, having the fairest rotation, offering great sound, food, service or a fabulous stage from which to sing, the “extras” provided by the nominees in their prospective categories make all of our Karaoke singing experiences so much better.
Please take the time to cast your vote for the people and/or venues you think should be recognized for their efforts. Please bear in mind that the more votes that are cast, the more representative the results. You may vote online at www.KaraokeScene.com. The voting begins on June 1 st and lasts until July 15 th. In the interest of fairness, only one vote per email address and two votes per IP address will be accepted. Again, the “Karaoke Golden Achievement Awards” depend on you, the Karaoke community, to participate and let those who are worthy know that you appreciate their efforts. They are there for you; you should be there for them!
Soon after the “Karaoke Golden Achievement Award” voting ends, the mother of all singing contests begins. On July 5 th, the prestigious “Crème de la Crème” singing competition will “kick off” with singers from all over Southern California (and beyond) competing for thousands in cash and prizes and the coveted title of “Male & Female Karaoke Vocalist of the Year” plus all that goes with it. Don’t miss your chance to compete and become a singing star! All of the details will be available at www.KaraokeScene.com and in our next issue.
KaraokeFest 2007 offers a golden opportunity for Karaoke related businesses to exhibit and sell their products at our Karaoke Expo area. There will be an estimated 90,000 to 120,000 people at the L.A. County Fair that day so exhibitors are sure to receive maximum exposure. The “Expo” area will be located right in the center of the Fairgrounds adjacent to where our main show will be held and totally accessible to the tens of thousands in attendance. Major sponsorship positions are also available to qualified companies.
For major sponsorship information or to reserve your “Expo” booth, please call (714) 826-2212. Space and time are limited so be sure to call now!
