As you may have seen, there are quite a few karaoke events on JCCC3 this year. We’d like to go over the different events in a bit more detail:
Live JoCo Band Karaoke (Studio B, Wed. night)
Jonathan will select roughly a dozen of “the hits;” sign-up sheets will be available in the Conference Center. Then, on Wednesday night, someone from each song’s list will be randomly selected to sing that song with Jonathan and his band performing it live with them.
UPDATE: Jonathan has selected the official song list for this event, and it is as follows:
- Big Bad World One
- Code Monkey
- Future Soon
- I Feel Fantastic
- Mandelbrot Set
- Re: Your Brains
- Shop Vac
- Skullcrusher Mountain
- Sticking It to Myself
- Still Alive
- Sucker Punch
- Want You Gone
Regular Karaoke (Studio B, Wed. night)
This will be similar to previous years’ karaoke nights; people will submit (non-JoCo) songs they wish to sing; the evening will be hosted and curated by David Rees and John Roderick. When we say “curated,” it means that, while the selection process will be somewhat random, the hosts will also be looking to program an entertaining evening for everyone; so there may be an occasional ringer thrown in, and they will be looking to not have, say, twelve ballads in a row.
Super Funtime Karaoke (On-Air Club, several sessions during the week)
These somewhat more intimate sessions (the On-Air Club seats approximately 160-170 people) will all be open to both JoCo and non-JoCo songs, will feature a variety of hosts, and the selection process each evening will be entirely random. (With the exceptions of culling out any repeats; also, unless the attendance is very low, individuals may sing only one song per session)
Song Lists
We will have physical copies of the karaoke song lists available at the events; but they are also available as PDFs for easy download below. We strongly recommend you download them to your Personal Portable Smart Devices of Electronic Communication; they will be more easily searchable that way, and you won’t have to crowd around a binder with 25 other people:

YAY!!
Will the lyrics be on display during live band karaoke for those who know the songs but may not be able to keep their wits about them when performing WITH JOCO?
Also, I’m super excited and panicked about this all at once.
Squee, I say!
That is all.
Will multiple microphones be available for duets?
Yes, please answer Gina’s question!
There will be lyric sheets for the JoCo Band karaoke.
And there will be multiple microphones at the other karaoke sessions for duets.
