Hi everyone!

Unfortunately, due to the blizzard in February and other extenuating circumstances, Quad-A Show 2013 has been cancelled. Thanks to everyone for their interest in the show and to our wonderful groups for being so dedicated to the spirit of Quad-A!

We’re talking to the other groups to see if we can help organize a show for next school year. We’ll keep you posted!

Fall Auditions 2012

Posted on by

Here’s your chance to join Syncopasian! Information about our auditions for the fall semester is below:

WHEN: Saturday, September 1st — all day
WHERE: 4-082 (basement of building 4)
HOW TO SIGN UP: Sign up for a time slot at the ASA Activities Midway (Friday 8/31, 3-5pm @ Johnson Ice Rink). E-mail syncopnullasian@mit.edu if you cannot make it to the Midway or if you have a time conflict with auditions. We accept walk-ins, but you may have to wait for an open time slot.
AUDITION PROCESS: Please prepare a verse and chorus from a song of your choice (English or any Asian language is fine). Along with this song, you will be asked to complete a few warmup techniques and a sightsinging excerpt.

A few words of advice:

  • Relax! We don’t bite ^_^
  • Pick a song that suits your singing style and shows off what you can do–DON’T pick a song just because you think we’ll like it. If you’re into your song, we will be too!
  • Come hear us perform at the ASA Activities Midway around 4:30pm, and then introduce yourself to us! We love talking to new people :)

If you have any questions, e-mail us at syncopnullasian@mit.edu OR talk to us at our booth on the Midway. Hope to see you at auditions!
