Karaoke Night
Brain Monkeys Media brings a lively karaoke night powered by the Songbooks Online app. Singers can search the catalog in advance, build a list of favorites, send multiple selections to the DJ, and tip the DJ in the app by using Show ID SPIKE. To keep the rotation fair and the equipment in good shape, a few house rules are in place. Handle microphones, monitors, tablets, and cables carefully, microphones are sanitized between performances, and attendees use the ramp to get on and off the stage. Sign up for every song under the identical name so your spot returns to the lineup automatically while you browse for your next track. When each number ends, everyone cheers so every performer gets a moment to shine. Music tracks are provided in .CDG format from online karaoke catalogs, and advance requests for new downloads are welcomed with a 2 dollar contribution to cover the cost of adding the track.
