[Jacob Damsky via NEohioPAL]

I've never submitted to NEohioPAL before so I'm not sure how much detail to
provide, but I will just attach all of the information. Please let me know
if I should cut this down or if I should provide any additional materials.

Thank you!
Jacob



Have you been feeling a severe lack of A Cappella around the Cleveland
area? Are you an ex-A Cappella singer from school and miss the feeling of
sinking into that perfect blend? Are you someone who has always wanted to
show off their shower-singing skills to the world? Or are you just an avid
A Cappella enthusiast who wishes there was so much more A Cappella music to
go around? Well we have the solution..

We are *Harmonious*, Cleveland's soon to be newest professional A Cappella
group!

We are founded by Jacob Damsky and Michael Crowley, two A Cappella lovers
who crave being in a group again, surrounded by amazing singers, and
sharing their passion and music with everyone!

We will be hosting auditions this weekend and we want to get the group up
and running ASAP! Auditions will be open to anyone and we are looking to
fill all voice parts as well as vocal percussion. Additionally, if you have
any experience writing or arranging music for A Cappella, or directing past
groups, those are a huge plus!
Auditions will be 10-15 minutes and will be held at the Blank Canvas
Theater (1305 W 78th St Suite 211, Cleveland, OH 44102) on December 19th
(3:00-5:30 PM) and 20th (3:00-6:00 PM). For the audition please prepare two
contrasting 30 second songs to sing without accompaniment. If you are
interested, please comment on the page with your preferred time and we will
let you know if it is available.

We can't wait to find the best talent Cleveland has to offer!
