The Maine Steiners, the University of Maine’s premier a capella group, will be filming their fall show at 7 p.m. tomorrow, Dec. 6. in Hauck Auditorium.
“We will be recording the show with five or six cameras,” said Kevin Child, vocal percussionist for the Maine Steiners.
While admission is set at $5, the boisterous men’s group passed out handbills at their Java Jive performance on Tuesday night for $1 off Friday’s ticket price. “There may be more floating around the Union over the next couple days,” said Lee Hunter, president of University Singers and a member of the Steiners, on Tuesday night. “Be sure to look for them.”
“There will definitely be new gags and songs that are new to us this semester, [songs] that we haven’t performed a lot,” Hunter said. “We always like to mess around with stuff and a lot of our fun or funny things come to us a couple hours – or minutes – before the show.”
“There may be one brand new song,” Child added.
The University of Maine at Farmington’s Sole Expression will open the evening, with a possible appearance by UMaine’s mixed a capella group, Bear Vocals. Bear Vocals are not confirmed as openers, however.
“People should come if they enjoy being part of a fun-filled energetic show. We interact with our audience and try to make them feel part of the performance,” Child said.
If you have yet to enjoy the amusing antics and modern song selection of the Maine Steiners, Friday’s fall show is the perfect opportunity.
“We try for a fun show that can be enjoyed by anyone, with any knowledge of music,” Hunter said. “We are an entertainment group above all so we try to please the crowd. Being in tune is also entertaining, so we try to do that occasionally, too.”
