THE NEXT Xband

Stacks Image 5

ATTENTION CRAWFORD, SENECA, HURON, RICHLAND, MORROW, MARION, WYANDOT, SANDUSKY, ERIE, LORAIN, ASHLAND, KNOX, DELAWARE, UNION, HARDIN, HANCOCK & WOOD COUNTY (OH) PUBLIC SCHOOL 8TH GRADE MUSICIANS:

From 2006 until the Spring of 2021, Xband existed as an important asset for public school-aged musicians interested in learning about preparing for and performing live music - and recording music for release. Now it's back, and if you're reading this - we hope its because you have some interest in becoming a member of a new group of musicians that will pick up where the last group left off - and inspire future area public high school musicians to do the same.

We’re hope you’re as excited about the road ahead as we are, but first - we ask you to PLEASE keep these points in mind:

  • Acceptance of submissions will close once group has been staffed. DON'T WAIT TO REGISTER.
  • Read ALL of the instructions and details, and if you don't understand - ask.
  • Don't discourage anyone you know or don't know from registering because you think it's a clever plan to "increase your chances" of being selected/ winning.
  • Don't decide we've probably accepted all the registrations we're going to accept and then not register unless you've heard that from us. If the promotion is still running, there are still spots open.

Disregarding those points can cause lost opportunities and failed promotions.

The success of these promotions depends on being able to select submissions from the strongest musicians. If you think you’re good, send something in. If you think you’re pretty good, send something in. If you haven’t heard from us that the promotion has ended, its open…so send something in.

Once we've assembled the right musicians, things will start to happen. We'll set a once-per-month evening rehearsal date - and start to prepare to become a "working band" with shows in the area and possibly in other parts of the state (we know some people) - opening for other working bands while we build our own complete show.

Please read CAREFULLY through the rules and instructions for entry below. Again - this promotion will run until the group is staffed and will not close before that. If you have any questions before submitting your registration, please don’t hesitate to reach us via DM on Facebook, Instagram, or through the contact form here.

School-aged musicians are the future of live music and the recording industry, and neither will survive it without you.
