CASTING SINGERS to sing with a big band in "Holiday Big Band Bash!"
Director and Producer John Bisceglie seeks talented, diverse, non-union performers with strong vocal abilities to perform a variety of solo, duet and choral holiday and big band standards.
Sing with the Bay Area's "Mood Swing Orchestra" as you perform for 1000 people in the elegant ballroom at the historic Oakland Scottish Rite Temple situated on beautiful Lake Merritt in Oakland.
"Holiday Big Band Bash" is the perfect combination of a live theater performance and big band holiday ball. This festive three hour event is filled with nostalgia, tradition and special appearances from your favorite holiday characters.
