The Project
Since we started writing, we’ve been asked time and again for sheet music by people wanting to sing our songs for auditions and their own shows. Sadly, only a tiny fraction of our music is currently scored as it is a complex, costly and time-intensive process.
We are pleased to report that we now have a concrete plan to fix this We have selected some of our most popular songs for the creation of a NO HOPE Songbook.
Following a wildly successful Indiegogo campaign that raised the full $5,000 necessary to complete this project, we have begun work with a professional music copyist to score 15 songs. That’s over 1,000 bars of music, roughly 150 pages, all which will be transcribed, typeset, formatted and proofread by several people.
The Impact
The really amazing aspect of this project is –with something like The NO HOPE Songbook, we’ll at long last have the ability to send our music to everyone from Marin Mazzie and Kelly Clarkson (or well maybe their agents or managers if they’re lucky enough to take our calls) to choir teachers across the Midwest (many of whom may also not take our calls). But really, who doesn’t want a YouTube clip of the Liberal High Show Choir in Kansas singing “Farewell September”?
As an added bonus, this project will ultimately have the capacity to provide NO HOPE with our first non-show related income, ensuring many future productions to shock and amuse you. That’s like that delicious sugary drizzle on a 2,000 calorie Cinnabon.
