Sing With All of Your Might, At Cordova’s Open Mic Night!

The Cordova Recreation & Parks District is excited to announce that they will be kicking off their first ever Open Mic Night on Friday, March 20th! Admission is FREE. Youth and teens between the ages of 6 and 18 are being encouraged to show off their talents for others during a night of fun by performing at the Cordova Community Center for an open mic night. A variety of family friendly talents are welcome including singing, dancing, piano players, drummers, guitarists, comedians, poets and magicians; other talents are also welcome.

The event will be from 7-9pm which will allow for twelve separate acts having a time slot of ten minutes each. Therefore, performers are encouraged to pre register in order to be guaranteed a time slot. There is a performance fee of $5.00 and a downloadable application can be found on the “Adult & Teen” link on the CRPD website. You are also welcome to drop by the district office during business hours or if you would like, you can register via phone by calling Rachel Durnbaugh (916) 362-1841 ext. 36.

Those who do not pre register, but still wish to perform, can pay $5.00 cash at the door on the day of the event. However, you are asked to show up no later than 6:45pm, but as early as 6:30pm, to schedule your performance if time allows. Event time may be extended beyond 9pm pending the number of performances.

Wanting to perform at Open Mic Night in a group? Registration fees for a talent group is the same as individual performances, $5.00. When you pre register as an individual or a group you will be given an exact time that you will be performing. Late registrants showing up on event night will be given the time slots that have been left unfilled. Performer’s need to sign in upon entrance and those under the age of 18 years will need to have a performance waiver signed by a parent or guardian on the day of the event.

Rachel Durnbaugh, Recreation Coordinator for the CRPD, would like to remind all performers that they will need to bring all equipment needed for their performance, and that each ten minute time slot includes all necessary set up and break down time. Equipment that can be provided at the Cordova Community Center includes a microphone, P.A. system and a piano for the event. A CD player will be available if you would like to bring your own CD or tune the radio to a particular station for your act. Please be sure that your song lyrics are appropriate.

The Cordova Recreation & Parks District encourages all family and friends to come watch and support their talented youth and teen performers at its first Open Mic Night.
