The New Dawn Singers is a touring, song and dance group that performs over 300 shows per year in convention centers, amusement parks, theatres, schools, churches, retirement communities, and many other venues across the country. Our members are out of high school and/or of college age and commit one year at a time to performing with the group. We bring youth, smiles, talent, and excitement to audiences of all types with our upbeat, high energy show!
Our cast includes 6-8 performers on stage as well as tech staff that all work together to produce a professional entertainment show geared to please any crowd.
Members need not have professional training, just a "willing to learn" attitude and eagerness to work hard. Technicians must also be willing to learn new equipment and sound and lighting techniques.
Cast members travel together in an RV-style truck with living quarters in the front and show equipment behind. Males and females are separated in different bedrooms for their stay at each destination.
Cast members will each be given different "set-up" jobs..such as costumes, sound, lighting, CD table, etc. to set up at each performance.
Each year CDs are produced and recorded in our own studio.
Rehearsals begin anywhere from one week to one month prior to the first show date.
Our Guidelines:
Appearance: Hair is to be neat and taken care of. No visible tattoos or piercings except for the ears. No earrings on any males. No facial hair on stage. In general, good grooming is required.
Shows are professional, so stage makeup is required for all members...male & female.
Beliefs: Because we are based as a gospel group, we ask that you have made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ. Some of our training involves devotional times and memorization of the Bible.
Conduct: Our code of conduct requires strength of character and morals...no profanity, drinking, smoking, drugs, sexual misconduct...In general, professional behavior at home and show settings.
Members must be able to travel and work well with others.
