Join us for this unique, fun-filled, inspirational, information-packed, hands-on vocal/performance retreat.  Come relax in a beautiful mountain setting.

 

Each afternoon we will break into groups to rehearse and learn each others songs for the evening's performance. This is your chance to not only have a band but to be a part of the band!!!   There will be performance rounds with a mic and pa each night and sessions during the morning and early afternoon. All meals and snacks are included and we will provide yummy (slightly fancy) mountain meals of grilled salmon, pasta and lots of grilled vegetables (and delicious deserts) at a beautiful, cozy mountain facility near Bailey, CO.

We have several camping areas, an 18 foot teepee and some space for RV's, and camping is free. There are no indoor accommodations on site, but there are bed and breakfast rooms available for $100 per cabin per night (2 private bedrooms in 1 cabin - double up and it's $50 per person). Transportation from the airport is available for $20 each way. Contact Celeste at kren9222@bellsouth.net  if you need to make arrangements for cabins and transportation. Please Note: Space is limited, so sign up early!

 

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: June 25th, 2007.

We'll be working on:

  • Commanding the Stage: Take a good look at yourself through the eyes of you audience when you work with dynamic performance coach Deedee Huntington. She enlightens all of us by helping us project what is on the inside and connecting our presence and look with our music. We will video tape these sessions so that you can watch the transformation for yourself. This is one of the highlights of the weekend.

  • Vocal technique, strengthening, increasing range

  • Overcoming stage fright and singing with emotion.

  • Harmony singing and working within a group

  • Sick of the same old chords?  Work with Mark Oblinger and add a new dimension to your songwriting and performance: Lead and rhythm guitar playing... all levels

  • Actual performance techniques for relaxing and taking command of your energy on stage

  • Increasing your creativity in performance and songwriting

  • Finding your artist's voice - creating a tool kit for getting the emotion out and into your songs
