The Baltimore Rock Opera Society is evolving! Join us for three nights of competitive karaoke throughout May. On the first two nights, participants will compete in a karaoke-off with a live band, which will culminate in a final showdown on night three to crown final winners. We’ll also be giving out prizes to participants throughout the journey. All events will be held at the Pink Room in The Crown.
Wanna win? Then ya gotta have some style! Costumes, stunts, props, dancing, and spectacle are all strongly encouraged. Decide what evolution means to you, and come dressed to impress.
The first two nights are themed as THE PAST and THE FUTURE. You may choose ANY popular song that loosely fits that category and choose which night you’d like to enter. You should put together a performance that fits the theme of your night or includes a CHANGE or EVOLUTION during the song. Think outside the box and go nuts!
For example:
THE PAST: Billie Holiday’s “Lover Man” in full nightclub attire
THE PAST: Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B Goode” dressed at Marty McFly
THE FUTURE: David Bowie’s “Changes” dressed as a lizard and lizard backup dancers
THE FUTURE: Daft Punk’s “One More Time” with a live keytar solo
OR ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE.
May 4, 2023: Round 1, THE PAST
May 11, 2023: Round 2, THE FUTURE
May 24, 2023: Six winners from the previous rounds compete with a live house band that will learn your track for the final!
