Support Live Music
Bands wanted for Support Live Music at the Ritz
Have you ever had dreams of being a singer or playing in a band? The Arts Council of Mississippi County is giving you the chance to do just that by asking bands to sign up for "Support Live Music".
“Support Live Music” is an on-going program presented as a fund raiser for The Arts Council of Mississippi County. It provides an opportunity for local and area bands to showcase their talents by performing on stage with professional lighting and sound systems to enhance their performance. This is not karaoke, as all performers will play their own music. The bands give their time and talents in exchange for a live on-stage experience shared with their friends and fans.
The Arts Council of Mississippi County is soliciting for bands and will give priority to those that are new to the program, before rescheduling repeating groups. No more than five bands or individual artists will be accepted to play and the sooner they sign up, the better.
New bands are required to provide either a playable or readable copy of the material that they plan to perform with their entry form. No bands will be compensated for their participation, but they are allowed to have approved CD’s, T-shirts, etc. available for purchase in the lobby during the show. The bands must agree to refrain from making any malicious, degrading, racial or ethnic statements, and from any obscene or off-color comments or gestures.
Anyone interested or involved in a band may contact The Ritz at (870)762-1744 or by their e-mail of artsmissco@yahoo.com. Sign-up forms must be turned by person no later than Friday, May 1, by 5:00pm.
