Questions and Answers!
Q: Hey man, we would love to play the festival. I just have a few questions about the system.
From what I've read, the stages sound like a first-come-first-serve kind of deal. They're "open performance areas", and if they're available, you can just go play on them?
I would love to play, but we're a seven-piece band. Bringing our own
equipment is not a problem, but it might be difficult to ensure that we
can round up all of the members with all of gear and grab a stage before
another band takes it.
If this is in fact how the show works, would there be a way to actually
reserve a spot? To be put on the roster for a specific time and stage?
Please let me know! I'd love for Indo Ghost Club to play the festival, I just want to make sure that it's going to work logistically.
Thanks!
A: Hi, good questions, and I will clarify this on the website. You will know what time you go on the main stages after you get signed in at the festival grounds.
We will open the gates on Thursday Mar. 11 so bands can start arriving and get their camps set up. There will be music in the evening. The Gauntlet competition starts Friday Morning at 8:00 with Coffee, Singers and Songwriters, bands will start at 10:00 am and runs through Sunday Night. You should be prepared to play on stage one to three times per day depending on your Gauntlet rankings.
As far as playing in any other performance areas, as a band, solo, or with other musicians, that is up to you. You can gain KUDOS playing anywhere and anytime, on the main stages, the Gauntlet stages or around a campfire.
Q: How do I make money in "The Gauntlet" competition.A: Its easy, every time you play, anywhere in the festival, spectators who like your act give "Kudos" (Votes) You redeem "Kudos" for cash. (more info)
Q: If my band is eliminated from "The Gauntlet" competition, can I still redeem all of my "Kudos" for cash money?
A: Yes. All of your "Kudos" can be redeemed for cash. You can earn Kudos by playing the main stages, playing side stages or just playing around your camp.
Q: In "The Gauntlet" competition, can I give "kudos" to my own band?
A: There are many strategies acts may employ to get more "Kudos" but the fact is this, the best acts will rise to the top. The Judges will see to that. If you are the best, the Judges and the Audience will lift you up. If you suck, the Judges will tear you apart no matter how many "Kudos" you have.
Q: Is this kind of like Woodstock?
A: Heck yea it is.
Q: Can I bring
my full band?
A: Yes.
Q: Can
I bring the kids?
A: Yes

sound equipment?

play your music, bring your musical gear, as there are open
performance areas throughout the
concert venue.
