Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of the cold and nasty weather we have had here in the mid-west. The good weather also brings good times for the festival. This is one of our busiest months for planning and promotions! As you all probably know we are having our kickoff concert on the 28th with Random Hero, Burning Yesterday, and Augustine Theory. We’re all getting excited about that. We hope that you have RSVP’d on our facebook page for the concert (It’s FREE!!). If not, we have a link at the bottom of this page for the event. We will also be going to a couple concerts in Illinois and Indiana this month to promote AgapeFest. So if you see our table stop by and talk to us, we would be more than happy to answer any questions you have there!

Battle of the Bands is still open for you or your friends submissions! http://www.agapefest.com/bands/battle-of-the-bands/ This is a great opportunity for young bands trying to get a chance at big opportunities. Top 10 bands get a live audition, Top 5 get to play at AgapeFest, Top 3 get to play at AgapeFest again on Saturday, and the winner gets to move on to Word Label Groups national talent competition! So let your friends know about it, this ain’t your average battle of the bands!

Also, youth leaders, be on the look out for mailings from our Media/PR department. Those should be arriving any day now if they haven’t already. They are filled with info on the festival and posters so be sure to let your youth know about it! We will also be calling churches around the area just to say hey and see if you’re planning on coming out!

If you have any questions check out the FAQ’s section on our website. http://www.agapefest.com/info/answers/ If we don’t answer your question there shoot us an e-mail at info@agapefest.com

Enjoy your March!
