We will be at the Moose between 10a and 11a. If anyone wants to stop by to help us set up you are welcome. As soon as the sound is set up ...you will be able to check in and do a sound check. At this time you will draw your number for position. 1p is the official time but if you are here you can get through and have the rest of the afternoon to rest or check out the town. Steve Hunt ETA & Art will be handling the sound checks. Make sure you have your discs or flash drives ready for them to check.
Because we are for a charity we have to enforce our rules on extra people coming in free with the artists, judges and staff which means: Each artist and judge will receive on check-in, tickets for the contest for one guest for both nights. Additional tickets can be purchased for the pre-sale price for others in their party. This applies to everyone unless they are a working part of our staff.
1:00pm................ Sound checks start (The checks will start at 1:00pm or sooner and end at 3:00pm) 3:00pm..........Sound checks end. Please leave your disc and or flash drives with us till after the first nights competition then you may pick up after the show. (If you are in town early we will be at the Moose around 10:00 am on Friday setting up for the contest.) Anyone wishing to join us may do so and as soon as things are set we will let you check in and do your sound check. Special Note: For those artists coming in on Thursday there are allot of good restaurants around the lake. Both Hotels Webb's Travel Resort and the Chautauqua Suites offer places to eat. Also there is the Candy Factory at Webb's to check out.

Other Awards
"Reflections of the King" Spirit Award This award will be given to the tribute artist that best reflects the heart, soul, and spirit of Elvis during the two days of competition. This award is given by Roy & Bobbie Arnold of the Reflection's Organization.
Best Vocals This award is given to the ETA with the highest score in this category. It is determined by the total points from each judge in that category.
People's Choice Award The fans coming to the contest decide this one. We ask that you pay a dollar a vote this way you can vote as many times as you feel you can afford. The artist with the most votes will receive part of the money and the title People's Choice. The remainder of the money will go to charity.
What If Award The last song of the competition on Saturday will be any song the ETA's want to sing that Elvis didn't. The artists will be judged on how they sing the song as if it were Elvis singing it. It can be a song from any era of music or genre. We ask that you have fun with the song you choose and make it your own as Elvis did.
If you have any questions... please email Bobbie [email protected] or call 716-968-3565
We look forward to seeing each and every one.
Step into our World of Elvis!!!!
God bless
