Upcoming Run-Out Information
Each season the MasterSingers arranges the occasional additional performance to reach new potential audience members. These performances, or "run-outs" are optional and open to all members. Most run-outs will use music from our current concert season but occasionally you may be asked to learn additional numbers. Sign up sheets for all run-outs will be available at rehearsals as dates are set or you can email mastersingersomaha@gmail.com and add your name to the list.
*Note* You do not have to be performing in our current concert to participate in a run-out performance, you may be asked to learn the appropriate music and attend 1 to 2 rehearsals prior to the performance.
March 21st - Cocktails & Cabaret: A Return to the Roaring 20's
Time - 5:30 p.m. Volunteers, 6:30 p.m. Event Begins
The B Side of Benson Theatre, 6058 Maple Street, Omaha, NE
Event Chair - Kate Putnam & Mark Hauffle
Volunteer Needs: Event volunteers, singers, raffle baskets, & event sponsorship assistance
Our spring fundraiser celebrates the 20's with a tasty appetizer & dessert buffet followed by a cabaret performance of hits from the jazz age. This event reaches a whole new type of audience & is a great way to get ready for spring. All food is catered so we are asking for singer assistance in recruiting corporate/small business/individual sponsorships to help defray the cost of the event space & catering. A little sponsorship money goes a long way for us as we are very, very economical! We will also need folks to volunteer to assist with event set up, raffle basket organization, & of course, as singers.
Sign up sheets are available at rehearsal, for singers not performing in our April concert who wish to assist, please email mastersingersomaha@gmail.com to volunteer!
Additional details regarding this event have been emailed, if you have not received them, or if you have additional questions please check in with Mark Hauffle (Tenor 1) at rehearsal.
