Big Things Coming!

Hey Peeps,

Well this semester is going to basically be the best ever! I’m sorry I haven’t posted as much as I would have liked, but it’s a bit difficult doing too many credits in a semester and be a director of the best festival ever! But, I’m mellowing out this semester, and investing pretty much all my spare time to this festival. I was going over some ideas while on Christmas vacation with my family and got antsy…I have so much in my head and so much excitement for this festival that I just wish it was here already!

As you’ve seen we already have our Main Stage line-up done! This is huge ya’ll. I’m not sure if you remember last year but we were definitely not this far ahead. Now we are starting to look at bands for Stage 2. So that is pretty awesome. This selection is done by a student-led staff that has a majority say and we try and bring in more local bands. Let us know who you think should be up there!

Battle of the Bands: I know some of you are way stoked about applying for that again this year. We have a huge thing coming your way to add onto our Battle of the Bands. It’s going to be way more competitive this year but that is because the reward is massive! Once we have all the info we need either myself, Joel or our Artist Relations guy, Micah, will fill you in on all that info. We are going to be taking submissions through Sonicbids.com which is how we did it last year too. That will probably all come around in February and early March.

Well, I won’t bore you with much more but I just wanted to let you know about some exciting stuff that is coming your way this semester!

Have a great one!

Lys…the Director
