11th Annual International Karaoke Night

Join us for a night of music, fun, food, prizes at the 11th Annual International Karaoke Night.  Students should sing in the language that they are learning at Sewanee, and not sing in their native language.  Please sign up to get your song on the roster or contact Helen Stapleton hfstaple@sewanee.edu by November 7.  If you aren't singing, just show up and cheer on your friends.  

There will be prizes for best solo act, best small group act, and best whole class act.
Here are some highlights from last year's events

How to participate: 
Learning Goals: Preparing for a song is a great opportunity to learn and internalize an authentic text.

1. Search the following sites for a song you want to sing.  You are not to sing along with the singer, but rather to sing to an instrumental track.  The word, karaoke, is Japanese for empty orchestra.
Stingray Karaoke (Chinese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Spanish)
Click on "Songs" and then filter your search by language.
Youtube (all languages)
Please send the link to an instrumental version of the song, ideally with written lyric.
Karaoke Version (French, German, Italian, Spanish)
Choose your language on the left-hand menu after clicking on "Advanced Search."

2. Once you've found your song, fill out the form or email Helen Stapleton hfstaple@sewanee.edu.  Only the first 25 acts will be included, and it is first come, first served.

3. Begin practicing your song well before the event by first singing along with the artist and then trying it by yourself. 

4. Perform you song on the evening of November 6! You will receive an estimated time of when your act will be by November 7.
