Last night was a great start to the SingStrong A cappella Festival in Reston, VA! There were rehearsals for the Single Singers, and the first show, the Aca-Idol contest in the evening. The Single Singers was created so that if you do not have a group to sing with during the weekend, you can join others in the same boat. Join them, and you can add your voice to all the others and maybe meet other people to join up for next year. It is a big task to put this all together with a few rehearsals before a performance on Saturday afternoon! So many strong groups competed this year, and the judging by both a cappella-celebrity judges and the crowd was close! In the end, JMU’s Note-oriety took home both the audience favorite and the overall win. Congratulations!

SingStrong DC starts today
This will be just a quick posting today. I am packing up my gear for a weekend of shooting at SingStrong DC starting this evening. The last I heard, there were still tickets available, so come out if you want to hear some of the best a cappella groups with the proceeds from the event going to the Alzheimer’s Association.
From what I remember from previous years this is a festival geared to real creative musicians. In particular singers that are familiar with the genre. However, other musicians can find how they can fit into group singing. In addition, they have some workshops on the business of music. With this in mind, SingStrong DC is building a community around music.
For fear that I will repeat work I did previously, I am envisioning what to capture this weekend. Although I cannot foresee exactly what the event will look like, I am prepared for something new. I am hoping to try to make some different photos in addition to the other performance photos from the concerts this year. With excited performers, I hope to post updates as soon as I can. Stay tuned to see what happens!
