The Rose City Sing-Off is the premier A cappella competition for high school-age singers in the Northwest. The Rose City Sing-Off not only provides an exciting opportunity for youth to compete, but also a chance to perform for three professional judges. As part of the experience, students will be able to participate in a morning Master Class hosted by Portland State University’s awarding winning A Cappella ensemble, The Green Note. Also each group will get to work one-on-one with the judges before the competition begins, each of whom have professional backgrounds in music, singing and education. The Master Class is also open to non-competing students and student groups for a small fee. Contact the Rose Festival for more information.
Partnering with the Portland Rose Festival, this competition is hosted in Portland, Oregon, but draws from the entire Northwest region. It is a one-day competition format, which takes place on Saturday, April 7, at Imago Dei Community (1302 SE Ankeny St). Nine qualifying groups will compete, and all groups will perform in a single round of competition. Cash prizes awarded to the top three singing groups: Champion ($750), first runner-up ($500) and second runner-up ($250). Songs, choreography and dress are family appropriate, with songs that have a positive message.
Tickets on sale now. Students $7 and General $12
