D.C. CreativesBand Togetherfor a Cause
Show Details
February 21, 2013 at Penn Social D.C. Agency bands battle for glory in support of a great cause, Food and Friends.
If you work in advertising, marketing, communications or media in the Washington, Baltimore or Richmond area, and love to rock out – this is for you.
How it Works
| December | Get your band together and start practicing |
| January 16 – February 8: | Submit your band’s audition video |
| February 11-15: | Semi-finalists announced and public voting |
| February 21: | Finalists perform at the DC Band Together Event |
Bands
At least one member of each Band must work in advertising, marketing, communications, or media. Bands must consist of at least two people, but not be more than eight people. Agencies/Companies can enter more than one band (so no need to worry about your punk rock style not meshing with your colleague’s smooth jazz quartet.)
Songs
Each band must submit an audition video of the band performing two (2) songs. The songs can be cover songs or original songs. The videos must be hosted on YouTube.
Submission Period
The submission period runs from January 16, 2013 to February 8, 2013.
Judging and Selection of Performing Bands
A panel of judges will review all submissions and choose a shortlist of semi-finalists (final number to be determined based on the quantity of entries received) who are eligible to perform at the DC Band Together Event.
The shortlisted bands will be featured on the DCBandTogether.com website, where the public will vote on their favorites
The popular vote combined with the judges scoring will determine the final 10 bands who will perform at the DC Band Together event on February 21, 2013.
