Welcome Guest/Artist - Entertainment Committee!

Postby Brandi_Anderson on Fri Sep 26, 2008 12:25 am

If you haven't already, please assign someone as head of this committee. It should be someone who will be able to attend all the meetings so that everyone knows where you guys stand!

Remember that you are primarily the entertainment committee in the month leading up to Oktoberfest. Your job is important because we need to have at least two bands on lockdown before we are able to put up posters or advertise properly, so you will be working closely with Marketing.

You can find the band I've been in contact with (the Bier Band) at www.myspace.com/thebierband. They are AWESOME! They play rock and roll covers polka style...and who said polka couldn't be cool?

A few other polka artists I found were:

myspace.com/thepolkaholics
myspace.com/tedthepolkadots
myspace.com/polkasonics

You do not have to rely soley on myspace. You also do not neccessarily have to find only polka artist. Research other oktoberfest festivals in the country and see what kind of music they had and feed from that. Please start negotiations soon, as we will need to start budgeting our money and getting tech needs in order.

*PLEASE UTILIZE THS MESSAGE BOARD! I want to see posts up before the next meeting!

Committee Head

Postby Clink on Fri Sep 26, 2008 4:43 am

Hey all! I was just getting on here and trying to get a hold of people in the artist committee...we need to elect a committee head! And so hopefully I am not going to be the only one on here posting because that won't look like a good sign if I am the only one here because that will seem to me that I am the only one working....(even if I am not)! So please get back to me ASAP so we can appoint a head of this committee and then we can get ideas or feedback on what everybody has done so far. As you have noticed Brandi posted that the Bier band is out...so we need to get some other ideas flowin! And also I if anybody is interested I would like to meet outside of the wednesday night meeting and the message board...if we can't I understand but if there is anybody that would like to meet up with me and also discuss ideas I am up for that as well!!


Thanks All!

committee head

Postby Dan Twiford on Sun Sep 28, 2008 2:24 am

Just chiming in. I agree we need to elect a comittee head. I am not available for hte position, but if you are, please speak up. The delegation of responsibilities doesn't need to happen right now, we just need someone who is available to oversee this committee. Great Hands on Experience, and we'll be here to help you.

Also, Everybody in the committee should just say hi on this thread so we know we're all "listening" if you will.

Ted and the Polka Dots

Postby Brandi_Anderson on Mon Sep 29, 2008 5:29 pm

Ted from Ted and the Polka Dots called me on accident the other day trying to reach the Bier Band. Wierd huh? I guess he had gotten my number from an email and thought it was a band member...not sure. But anyway, I talked to him for a bit and explained the fall crawl and he seemed pretty interested. So I will be in touch with him. He said they are from Lexington so this wouldn't be a stretch at all...so now I just have to start negotiations on prices. So theres a start. Thanks for using the board!!

awesome...that was actually one of the bands that I was going to contact. But that works out perfectly. Hopefully it will go in our favor. Kinda seems like fate lol. But there are a few more I have been researching and getting ready to contact!
