Song Request Procedure at Krazy Karaoke
Reported problems:
The song
queue is jammed with over 30 songs and no late-comer can get a song in
before closing. Multiple songs are entered off a list by the same
singer(s) which result is less sharing. Any program or attempt to
organize a short programs is impossible without clearing the entire
queue.
Proposed Basic Solution:
Detailed below.
Factors considered in Solution:
Approximately 18 karaoke songs played in a hour (estimate 3.4
minutes/song). A 5 hour session = 90 songs, especially since we
lose
song time to set up food/drinks, check song books, etc. when we first
enter. Not everyone sings.
Basic Procedure:
Song Request slip system, tended input
- 90-100 unique request slips will be pre-printed for a
5-hour event
- ONLY one song request per request slip
- Request slips will be placed into a glass/bowl
- Only 3 songs will be in the song queue at any time
- When a song finishes, another song slip will be drawn
randomly from the glass/bowl
- Distribution of song slips will vary by event
Modified Procedure for
Rob25/Frank25 Karaoke Call
Note:
This is an event planned and organized by Rob25
- Basic procedure above in effect
- All paid attendees will be given a song request slip at
the door
- Song request slips may be used by attendee or given away
- Approx. 6 songs will be entered immediately for group
singing/non-specific singers to get started.
- Rob25/Frank25 will hold the balance of the request slips
- As the host, Rob25 may pass out song slips to request
certain songs from certain Tsingers.
- They may also pass out additional song slips to those
designated to get the group karaoke and "warm up" songs started as soon
as we enter (usually
d1shima or Mrs. Bulla).
- Rob25 will also have 15 special color song slips to
distribute--these color slips have priority and will be entered next in
the song queue. This will also facilitate special duets or group
requests.
