Calling all singers and performers!
We think our region could use something positive right now, and we think ACT is the group to provide it in the form of a little holiday spirit. Here’s how you can help ACT and help our community at the same time – ACT’s Christmas Carol-A-Thon sponsored by Altoona First Savings Bank.To participate, just make a recording of yourself singing your favorite Christmas song. You can go solo or include your family or socially distant friends. You can accompany yourself on piano, guitar, ukulele, or tambourine. You can go a cappella, or buy a Karaoke backing track for $1.99.
Send your video to act@altoonacommunitytheatre.com, and we’ll post it on our Facebook page with a “Donate to ACT” button so you can share it with your FB friends. As we get closer to Christmas, we’ll compile all the videos into a YouTube program.
To make it interesting, the person who gets the most ACT donations for their video gets bragging rights and a $100 gift certificate to PlaybillStore.com to purchase your favorite Broadway swag. (Second highest gets a $50 gift certificate. Third highest gets a $25 gift certificate.)
Let’s share ACT’s wealth of talent with the community at large to brighten everyone’s holiday spirit.
Whatever holiday you’re celebrating, you are welcome to record and submit your favorite holiday song. To avoid copyright issues, we recommend older songs (from sacred to secular) that are public domain (less Broadway, more “Jingle Bells”).
