Let’s turn it up to Eleven!! Play lead singer in Retro Con’s “Truly Truly Truly METAL Karaoke Contest”! \m/\m/

To shake things up, we’ve started giving our Karaoke contest a specific theme each year, and this year we’re going full metalhead! We’ll have an elite mix of headbanging classics to choose from.

The contest will be held on Sunday afternoon, tentative start time 2:30pm. Since contestant space is limited and we’ll need time to get the playlist ready, sign-ups will be required! Sign-ups will be at the Preregistrant table in our lead-in hallway around Noon on Sunday. If interest is high, we may have to adopt a “lottery” system to pick our 12 metalists.

First Place this year wins the brand new in box HasLab GI Joe Rattler set! This set is sealed, has all the bonus tiers, and is currently selling for nearly $500 on the secondary market! We’ll have some awesome prizes for 2nd and 3rd place as well.

We’ll handle the retro, you bring the rock! A fun contest to compete in, and a fun contest to watch and cheer on from the audience!
