Bands Wanted for 2008 Rock the District
Carmel , IN – The Old Town Arts & Design District
Merchants Association (OTADMA) and Rock the District event
committee are currently seeking local bands to be part of this
year’s Rock the District event. Rock the District is a free
community-wide music festival and shopping extravaganza
scheduled for Saturday, July 19, 2008 from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. Last
year’s inaugural event drew more than 7,000 people from
throughout the state of Indiana to the Arts & Design District.
This year’s event is expected to draw even larger crowds with
enhancements such as additional stages of music, more expansive
sidewalk sales and a special performance by a national recording
artist ending the event.
The event committee is seeking a variety of musical performers
for the 2008 Rock the District. Bands from all genres of music
are encouraged to participate. Rock the District is a
family-friendly event and bands and/or musical groups should
have musical content appropriate for the general public. Bands
with explicit lyrics will not be accepted. Performance times
range from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. on the day of the event. Applications
to participate can be found on the Carmel Arts & Design District
website at www.CarmelArtsandDesign.com. As the City of Carmel is
a non-profit entity, only groups willing to perform gratis can
be accommodated.
Deadline for submission of application materials is Friday, May
23.
Performers will be chosen by committee review. Final
entertainment line-up is at the discretion of the event
committee. Submitting materials does not guarantee a spot in the
Rock the District line-up.
This is a great opportunity for bands to showcase their talents
in front of a large audience. Rock the District will be heavily
promoted through various media and provides a fun and festive
environment for fans of all ages.
