Yup. Here's the dealio: irrepressible aca-promoter Deke Sharon sees part of the mission of the show as leading the huddled masses yearning to be freed of instruments to great local singing outfits. He's encouraging all venues on the tour to offer the Aca-Performance of A Lifetime:
VOCALOSITY’s “Aca-Performance of a Lifetime” contest is an opportunity for local communities to get their local a cappella groups excited about the upcoming VOCALOSITY tour by presenting an opportunity to perform as the “opening act” for their VOCALOSITY engagement. Contestants must submit a 1-2 minute video recording of their a cappella group performing any contemporary song and upload to YouTube.
