Battle of the Bands

The Fine Arts Connection of Thomaston (FACT) in collaboration with ArtZfest 2012 is organizing a “Battle of the Bands” competition open to newly formed and/or non-professional (unsigned, unpaid) bands.  The competition will be held on Friday evening July 13^th (Saturday evening July 14^th – rain date).  Location will be announced later.

FACT is currently looking for young talented musicians who are aged 14 to 25, have recently formed a new band/group, and are looking for a venue to perform.  This is your opportunity to be seen and heard as you compete against your peers in an exciting atmosphere during Thomaston’s first ArtZfest 2012.  Bands wishing to participate in this exciting new event are asked to submit a short 3-5 minute audition video (see below).  This event will be limited to 4 or 5 groups for a one evening event.  Other details of the event will be announced as they are planned.  At this time, the winner of the competition will perform as the opening act on Monday evening, July 16^th at 5:30 p.m. for the Thomaston Summer Concert Series in Seth Thomas Park.

The Battle of the Bands committee is currently looking for anyone interested in working on this event.  We are looking for volunteers who would like to help with event planning, stage crew, parking, tickets, ushers, public relations and marketing, graphic artists and sponsors for this particular event.  We are especially looking for young people who want to participate.  And last but not least, we need some fair, unbiased judges.
