 Axe Music and Peavey Electronics Announce The Ultimate High School Battle of the Bands Tour: The Axtreme Fest 2003PeaveyPosted 2003-02-21 The staff at AXE
Music, Western Canada's premier musical instrument store, have been
working their tails off organizing the world's largest high school
"Battle of the Bands" competition. AXEtreme Fest consists of a
competition by bands from participating regional high schools. AXE
Music provides top of the line professional equipment, high-end
audio, intelligent lighting, and a brand new backline of Peavey gear
for all of the bands to use. AXE staffers even act as roadies,
handling gear set-up and tear down, and AXE runs the sound and
lighting with help from the students.
Band members simply have to bring their guitars and drumsticks!
Musical genres don't matter - all bands are welcome. All together
the "tour" aspect of the AXEtreme Fest competition markets and
showcases over 600 acts, with more than 2,500 up-and-coming
musicians, to over 90,000 high school students in Alberta. The best
part? Participation is FREE!
The top band from each school as chosen by the audience proceeds to
the AXEtreme Fest Semifinals, which features all regional winners.
Semifinals are held in large venues in Calgary and Edmonton during
April and May 2003. The main event is huge, with Rock Star-like
treatment for the bands. The semifinalists each get a package of
professional pictures for use in their band press kit and a complete
set of professionally recorded 'Wave' files to document their
performance. The finalists get to play at Stage 13, a large
Edmonton-area rock venue www.stage13.net Winning bands and
schools will receive a "Gold Record"-style trophy.
Registration closes five days prior to each high school's respective
tour date. To register your band and school, visit http://axemusic.com/axetreme/index.htm.
