The most important thing to know is that our classes are designed with the right amount of seating so you won't have to pre-register to see the classes you want!
What Food Options Are Available At SingStrong?
SingStrong offers snacks such as candy and sometimes fruit, along with sodas, water and fruit drinks. SingStrong also offers lunch foods like pizza or tex-mex. Restaurants of every type are nearby (see below).
What Food Options Are Located Within One Mile of SingStrong?
Coming soon!
What Food Options Are At or Near the Hotel?
Coming soon.
If Tickets Are Sold-Out, What Can I Do to Get In Anyway?
Thankfully, when tickets sell out there is a still a chance that you can get in. This is because there are almost always some last minute cancellations and no-shows. The best advice is for you to arrive about an hour prior to the show and let the Will-Call know that you would like to buy a ticket. They will put you on a waiting list and you'll be first to get in when we get a cancellation.
How Do I Perform in ACA-IDOL?
Follow these instructions to apply.
How Do I Perform in the HS Competition?
Follow these instructions to apply.
My Group Would Like a Free Coaching. How Do We Apply?
Follow these instructions to apply.
I Want to Sing on the MainStage, but My Group Can't Come. Is There a Group I Can Join?
Yes! You can apply to join SingStrong's open group, the Single Singers.
If I Attend the 7PM Saturday Show, Can I Save My Seat or Leave My Belongings for the 9:30PM Show?
Because this would not be fair to those who attend the 9:30PM show, we do not allow saving seats or leaving belongings between shows. (Premium Tickets may be an exception in some areas.)
I Purchased a Weekend Pass, But I Can't Attend All of the Shows. Can I Get a Refund?
No. Weekend Passes are a lot like an all-you-can eat buffet. They allow YOU and you ALONE to enjoy as much as you want. But there aren't any discounts for "food you didn't eat" and you can't pass your "all you can eat" status on to anyone else.
I'm in High School. Are There Any Events That I Can't Attend?
You can attend all classes, seminars and concerts. But, the Afterglow parties aren't appropriate for unaccompanied or unsupervised high school students. Afterglows take place in a bar-like restaurant setting. SingStrong therefore recommends that no high school students attend. School or SingStrong personnel do not supervise this event. The Hotel/restaurant alone controls the event.
Can I Record Concerts or Classes?
The rules regarding recording are located in the ticket terms. Generally, the answer is no. But even when the answer is yes, you assign all rights, including copyright to SingStrong Inc. We do this to protect our artists and our cause!
Is It Ok to Arrive Late for Classes?
Yes. But please try to enter without disrupting the class.
Is It OK to Arrive Late for Concerts?
It is risky to arrive late for concerts. If your seat is still available when you arrive, we may reseat you. However, SingStrong is a charity-oriented event. If a weekend pass holder/ticketholder does not show up for a concert in a timely manner, then, in accordance with the ticket terms, SingStrong may resell that seat to someone on the waiting list. This allows SingStrong to both keep our ticket prices low and to raise funds for charity. Thankfully, due to our free, convenient parking, our attendees almost never arrive late, so this hasn't yet presented a problem. But we wanted to give you fair warning. Also, SingStrong personnel may require you to wait until an appropriate moment where your entry will not be disruptive before allowing you late entry to a concert.
How Does Seating Work at Concerts?
SingStrong uses stadium seating for almost all seats. This allows you and your friends to buy tickets separately and still sit together. Doors usually open about 30 minutes prior to concerts. VIP pass holders are invited to choose their seats first.
Where Do I Get My Tickets?
When you enter the SingStrong event site, you will immediately see an area noted as Will-Call. Your tickets and/or passes will be waiting for you here under the name used to purchase the tickets or the name provided to our ticket seller at the time of purchase. You may also see a separate area, near Will-Call, for performers or competitors where their tickets are held separately.
How Does the Silent Auction Work?
100% of the money we raise at auction goes to the fight against Alzheimer's Disease! Throughout the weekend, we will display various items and services. You may enter a bid on any of these at any time before bidding closes on Saturday night at around 9PM. Make sure we have your contact information in case you win! After our Saturday 7pm show ends, and before our 9:30 show begins, we will close the bidding. At this time, bidding often becomes more intense. We will do a count down to indicate the closing of bidding. Most bidders attend the 9:30 show where we announce winners. We will also announce winners on our website. Please pick up your items by the end of the festival on Sunday!
How Does SingStrong Support Charitable Causes?
Here at SingStrong New York,, we are proud of our charitable involvement. 100% of the profits at the silent auction support the fight against Alzheimer's Disease. Our chosen charity is now Cure Alzheimer's Fund where every dollar goes to finding a cure. And of course, SingStrong, Inc. is itself is a New York based charity with a team that donates thousands of volunteer hours to keep our festival first rate.
If I Bid on Something at the Silent Auction, Can I Deduct that on My Taxes?
No. The person who donated that item takes the deduction. The person who bids gets a great deal, and the satisfaction of helping a great cause! Ask your accountant for information on deductions.
You can buy individual tickets (a la carte) to events. But attendees save big by purchasing a Full Weekend Pass.
Students at any age and Seniors age 65 and older can save even more by purchasing a Discount Weekend Pass.
If you plan to purchase 10 or more tickets at once, you can also save by purchasing the Discount Weekend Pass.

Remember that a ClassPass will give you access to compete and access to all classes, but it won't give you access to see any of the concerts. Ticket terms are here. If you are coming from out of town, you may also need to book a hotel.

Here is some information about classes generally and a look at the most recent schedule. This will give you a good idea of the kinds and numbers of classes we'll offer each year. The most important thing to know is that our classes are designed with the right amount of seating so you won't have to pre-register to see the classes you want!
What Food Options Are Available At SingStrong?
SingStrong offers snacks such as candy and sometimes fruit, along with sodas, water and fruit drinks. SingStrong also offers lunch foods like pizza or tex-mex. Restaurants of every type are nearby (see below).
What Food Options Are Located Within One Mile of SingStrong?
Coming soon!
What Food Options Are At or Near the Hotel?
Coming soon.
If Tickets Are Sold-Out, What Can I Do to Get In Anyway?
Thankfully, when tickets sell out there is a still a chance that you can get in. This is because there are almost always some last minute cancellations and no-shows. The best advice is for you to arrive about an hour prior to the show and let the Will-Call know that you would like to buy a ticket. They will put you on a waiting list and you'll be first to get in when we get a cancellation.
How Do I Perform in ACA-IDOL?
Follow these instructions to apply.
How Do I Perform in the HS Competition?
Follow these instructions to apply.
My Group Would Like a Free Coaching. How Do We Apply?
Follow these instructions to apply.
I Want to Sing on the MainStage, but My Group Can't Come. Is There a Group I Can Join?
Yes! You can apply to join SingStrong's open group, the Single Singers.
If I Attend the 7PM Saturday Show, Can I Save My Seat or Leave My Belongings for the 9:30PM Show?
Because this would not be fair to those who attend the 9:30PM show, we do not allow saving seats or leaving belongings between shows. (Premium Tickets may be an exception in some areas.)
I Purchased a Weekend Pass, But I Can't Attend All of the Shows. Can I Get a Refund?
No. Weekend Passes are a lot like an all-you-can eat buffet. They allow YOU and you ALONE to enjoy as much as you want. But there aren't any discounts for "food you didn't eat" and you can't pass your "all you can eat" status on to anyone else.
I'm in High School. Are There Any Events That I Can't Attend?
You can attend all classes, seminars and concerts. But, the Afterglow parties aren't appropriate for unaccompanied or unsupervised high school students. Afterglows take place in a bar-like restaurant setting. SingStrong therefore recommends that no high school students attend. School or SingStrong personnel do not supervise this event. The Hotel/restaurant alone controls the event.
Can I Record Concerts or Classes?
The rules regarding recording are located in the ticket terms. Generally, the answer is no. But even when the answer is yes, you assign all rights, including copyright to SingStrong Inc. We do this to protect our artists and our cause!
Is It Ok to Arrive Late for Classes?
Yes. But please try to enter without disrupting the class.
Is It OK to Arrive Late for Concerts?
It is risky to arrive late for concerts. If your seat is still available when you arrive, we may reseat you. However, SingStrong is a charity-oriented event. If a weekend pass holder/ticketholder does not show up for a concert in a timely manner, then, in accordance with the ticket terms, SingStrong may resell that seat to someone on the waiting list. This allows SingStrong to both keep our ticket prices low and to raise funds for charity. Thankfully, due to our free, convenient parking, our attendees almost never arrive late, so this hasn't yet presented a problem. But we wanted to give you fair warning. Also, SingStrong personnel may require you to wait until an appropriate moment where your entry will not be disruptive before allowing you late entry to a concert.
How Does Seating Work at Concerts?
SingStrong uses stadium seating for almost all seats. This allows you and your friends to buy tickets separately and still sit together. Doors usually open about 30 minutes prior to concerts. VIP pass holders are invited to choose their seats first.
Where Do I Get My Tickets?
When you enter the SingStrong event site, you will immediately see an area noted as Will-Call. Your tickets and/or passes will be waiting for you here under the name used to purchase the tickets or the name provided to our ticket seller at the time of purchase. You may also see a separate area, near Will-Call, for performers or competitors where their tickets are held separately.
How Does the Silent Auction Work?
100% of the money we raise at auction goes to the fight against Alzheimer's Disease! Throughout the weekend, we will display various items and services. You may enter a bid on any of these at any time before bidding closes on Saturday night at around 9PM. Make sure we have your contact information in case you win! After our Saturday 7pm show ends, and before our 9:30 show begins, we will close the bidding. At this time, bidding often becomes more intense. We will do a count down to indicate the closing of bidding. Most bidders attend the 9:30 show where we announce winners. We will also announce winners on our website. Please pick up your items by the end of the festival on Sunday!
How Does SingStrong Support Charitable Causes?
Here at SingStrong New York,, we are proud of our charitable involvement. 100% of the profits at the silent auction support the fight against Alzheimer's Disease. Our chosen charity is now Cure Alzheimer's Fund where every dollar goes to finding a cure. And of course, SingStrong, Inc. is itself is a New York based charity with a team that donates thousands of volunteer hours to keep our festival first rate.
If I Bid on Something at the Silent Auction, Can I Deduct that on My Taxes?
No. The person who donated that item takes the deduction. The person who bids gets a great deal, and the satisfaction of helping a great cause! Ask your accountant for information on deductions.

Grace McLean
Huff Post calls this NYC-based live-looper, "Electrifying!" Manhattan User's Guide writes, "This pop and jazz singer writes seriously infectious melodies with seriously antic lyrics. Her voice can raise the roof, or she can slide off a note and break your heart." Sometimes compared to artists like Kimbra and Julia Easterlin, once McLean begins, you won't be able to take your eyes off her for a moment. She loops layer upon layer of live harmony over her live leads, all the while putting the audience's focus on her incredible singing and songwriting. It's only after, that one marvels at her mastery of the technology. McLean made her mark in theatre and indie rock. SingStrong marks McLean's a cappella festival debut.
