Auditions | Back To Top | |
| Call for Singers, Buffalo Choral Arts Society | ||
| Tue. Jan 5 to Sun. Dec 5 2010 | ||
| January 5, 2009, after 6PM | ||
| The Buffalo Choral Arts Society (BCAS), under the direction of Marcia A. Giambrone, will hold mid-year auditions for its 2009-2010 season: Tuesday, January 5, 2010 beginning at 6PM at Sweet Home High School, Sweet Home Road, Amherst, New York. Appointments are required and may be scheduled by calling Nancy Cannizzaro at 847- 6930 (w) or 856-1357 (h). All singers who are impassioned with the choral art are encouraged to audition. The group is seeking singers for all voice parts. Prospective auditioners are asked to prepare a solo from any published source which best exemplifies the singer’s range, tone and interpretive qualities. Pitch-matching, range exercises and sight reading will make up the remainder of the audition. BCAS was founded in 1966 by Robert F. Schulz, and since then has steadily established itself as one of Western New York’s premier choruses and an integral part of Buffalo’s music-loving community. h/c access | ||

Comedy | Back To Top | |
| Buffalo ComedySportz | ||
| Fri. Jul 9 to Sat. Dec 29 2012 | ||
| Friday's at 8 pm & Saturdays at 7 pm | ||
| ComedySportz is improvisational comedy played as a sport! (If you've ever seen Whose Line Is It Anyway?, you've got the general idea.) Two teams of actors compete for the biggest laughs while a referee calls the fouls and gets suggestions from you, the audience. Everything we do is improvised. We don't have scripts or pre-planned scenes. That's why a ComedySportz match wouldn't be possible without your suggestions. Just make sure your suggestions are clean, or the referee could call the "Brown Bag Foul" on you, and you'll end up wearing a paper bag over your head. h/c access | ||

| Thu. May 6 to Thu. Aug 26 2010 | ||
| Racing starts at 6:30 PM on Thursday evenings throughout the summer. | ||
| The Buffalo Bicycling Club is proud to announce the Cobblestone Criterium Twilight Series 2010. The races will feature the premier racing cyclists in WNY, and will run on Thursday evenings throughout the summer starting on May 6. The events are FREE for spectators, and the organizers promise speed and excitement. The course starts and finishes on Perry Street in front of the Elk Terminal and covers 0.5 miles over paved roads. The tight turns create a technically difficult course that racers love, and the sidewalks and open spaces along the route are ideal for spectators. Unlike long-distance races, spectators will get to see riders zoom by dozens of times during each race. There will also be kids races, which is a unique event for children 12 & under to ride the same course as the racers. Participation in the kids races is FREE. Helmets with chin straps are required, and a guardian must be present to sign a release. Bring a lawn chair or towel and please join us for a night of racing!
