Did you perform at SingStrong? Do you want to?
*
What did you think about ticket prices?
*
Wow! What a bargain!
They were fairly priced considering the quality and length of the shows.
They were pricey, but I know it's for a good cause.
Way out of my budget!
What did you think about the length of shows?
*
I could not get enough! I seriously did not want the shows to end!
Just right.
A bit long, but still enjoyable.
I was really ready to get out of there.
What did you think about the length of shows?

If you have anything specific you want to add about show length, please do so!

What would make you most want to purchase tickets to SingStrong NEXT year?
*
SingStrong supports Cure Alzheimer's Fund and local music programs. How important is that to you?
*
Extremely important. That's why I'm here.
Somewhat important. Glad you do it, but I'd still come anyway.
It's a good cause, but I'm all about the amazing music.
I'm strictly here for the a cappella. The charity stuff isn't even on my radar.
Did you get enough information about Alzheimer's while at SingStrong?
*
Yes. A small amount goes a long way.
No. I would have liked more materials about this terrible disease.

Our coaching was really good.
Our coaching was fine.
I was underwhelmed by our coaching.

If SingStrong added a show on THURSDAY, prior to the weekend's events, would you attend?
*
Absolutely!
It would depend on what groups were in the show.
Nope. 3 Days of a cappella is my limit!
I would come to another show, but not on Thursday.
What would most strongly motivate you to attend a show on Thursday in ADDITION to the full weekend of SingStrong?
*
My favorite group which I have listed below!
The opportunity to perform.
Really low ticket prices.
College Groups
HS Groups
Women's Groups
Men's Groups
Beatboxers
Classical Groups
Jewish Groups

Jazz Groups
Barbershop

NOTHING! I'm not coming Thursday no matter what you do!

Did you purchase a FULL Weekend Pass this year?
*
Yes
No
Other
If you purchased a Student, Senior, 10+ or Adult Weekend Pass, then please select "yes". If you only purchased a ClassPass, or individual tickets, please select "no".
If you did NOT purchase a weekend pass, why not?
*
Family obligations prevented me from attending additional shows.
Work prevented me from attending additional shows.
School prevented me from attending additional shows.
Church or Synagogue prevented me from attending additional shows.
Finances prevented me from attending additional shows.
My interest in a cappella doesn't really justify seeing more shows in one weekend.
Had the groups been different, I would have attended additional shows. I'll tell you more below.
Other. I'll tell you below.
If you did NOT purchase a weekend pass, why not?
*
This would be a great place to tell us about conflicts in your life that prevented you from purchasing a Full Weekend Pass. If enough people mention a specific issue, especially if it's in our control, we'll try to address it.
Please rate the overall experience you had at SingStrong.
*
Loved it! I am telling everyone I know that they MUST come next year!
Really good! I'll be back.
Fine. Perhaps you'll see me again, if the mood strikes me, and I like the line-up and I'm not committed to anything else.
Needed some improvement. I might return but my arms will be crossed to indicate my doubts about the quality of the festival.
A good cause with very serious flaws. I'd rather donate money directly than come back.
Other, which I will tell you about...
Please tell us more about your overall experience.
*
Were you greeted with a smile and genuine warmth?
*
Yes! You could really feel the positivity. Such a great energy!
Somewhat. I mean, they smiled sometimes, I suppose
Not really. Everyone was on a smile break when I showed up. Thanks a ton for the neutral to gloomy greeting.
Did we get you your tickets in a timely fashion?
*
Yes! Getting my tickets went smoothly.
It took a few minutes, but overall it went well.
Ticketing was smooth, but the line to get there was actually really long.
Things did not go smoothly at ticketing. That system needs improvement, which I may comment on below.
Did we get you your tickets in a timely fashion?
*
Did we provide clear information?
*
Yes. Signage was very clear. I didn't even need to ask any questions.
Yes. Signage was clear and when I had questions they were answered promptly and fully.
Somewhat. I found some signage to be unclear.
Not so good. I did not get the information I needed despite looking and asking.
How did you feel about the physical location?
*
I love how you transformed a HS into a 1st class event w/ PRO light, sound and signage. Plus, ample free parking. Great job!
It's good. The concerts feel fully professional, but the classes still feel like a HS. I would pay 10% more to up the quality of these spaces.
I understand that it's convenient for students and locals, but the festival seems mismatched to its location. I'd pay double to move to a new, high quality space that felt more upscale.
If you were Supreme Ruler of SingStrong, what would you change? What would you keep?
*
I overheard other people saying this and I thought you should know...
*
Use this space to share the opinions of others, if you wish.
The sound at the concerts was
*
Amazingly clear and powerful. Loved it!
Really good, especially considering how challenging it is to run sound for so many different types of groups.
A tad bit too loud.
Way too loud for my tastes.
Too soft. You need to crank it!

Sat dinner only.
Sat breakfast and lunch only.
Sat breakfast, lunch and dinner only.
Some other combination of meals which I will describe below.
Here's my dream scenario with food at SingStrong

The Silent Auction was
*
A fantastic experience! A great cause and some real bargains. I did a lot of bidding!
Good. I did a little bidding and had fun!
Fine. I made one bid because it's a good cause.
Confusing, so I didn't bid.
Filled with items that I had little interest in so I didn't bid.
Way beyond my financial means so I didn't bid.
Other, which I'll tell you about below.
I missed the Silent Auction because I had a conflict.

*
We want our merchandise to really appeal to you! If there's something we can do to improve the appeal, let us know!
How did you feel about the Afterglow?
*
The afterglow is an unofficial part of SingStrong. We have no control over many elements, such as safety and alcohol policy. But we do have some control over things like the open mic performance and we may be able to pass on your comments to the hotel's management. So please tell us about your experience!
Was there anyone who was a special connection for you at SingStrong? A person that talked you into coming, or went out of their way to make your experience a positive one?
*
How did you feel about the email and telephone communications from SingStrong?
*
I didn't really need to communicate with SingStrong via tel or email.
Excellent! Considering it's an all-volunteer organization, I got fast, clear responses.
Good. I would have liked things a little faster or clearer, but overall, I'm happy.
Troubled. My phone calls weren't returned within 48 hours.
Troubled. My emails weren't returned within 48 hours.

WOW! Visually appealing and easy to navigate. All the information is complete and easy to find.
Good. Some information was hard to find. I'll tell you specifics below.
A bit of a mess. I really could not find what I needed, which I'll tell you about below.

SingStrong is totally fueled by super-energized, massively talented, boldly creative, insane-in-a-good-way volunteers. SingStrong tests you and teaches you and learns from you and loves you for being so giving. And everyone is delighted with a paycheck made of hugs, high fives, sleep deprivation and pizza. SingStrong is for people who believe the world can be made profoundly better through harmony and charity. Are you in? Can you help us take this to the next level?

We know this is a personal question. The reason we ask is because it helps us strike the right balance between an amazing, talent-packed festival, raising money for important causes, and full accessibility for all attendees.
