that has the word “love” in the lyrics? How about “baby” or “door?” If you can,
then this event is for you! In each round, teams will be given a word by the
judges and will have time to come up with as many songs as possible that
contain this word. Then, the sing-down begins as teams sing a portion of their
songs, until only one team remains. The team with the most victories wins!
Audience members are strongly encouraged to enjoy the music, help judge the
accuracy of the songs, and, of course, laugh! There will be a cash bar and
plenty of time to socialize with friends old and new.</span><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:large"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif"><br></span></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:large"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif"><br></span></div></div></div>
