An evening of fun and music featuring the first-ever “Battle Decks Spectacular!” Also known as “PowerPoint Karaoke,” the willing participants make a coherent presentation based on hand-selected, seemingly unrelated slides that they see for the first time live on stage. After a fantastic musical interlude, the participants face judgment, with the winner to be determined based on overall awesomeness.
