We are set to go with our monthly music shows.
The first one will be 6 p.m., March 28, at First American Baptist Church in Arkansas City.
The second one will be in April at Calvary Chapel in Ark City, May will be at Wilson park, June will be at Crossroads church in Winfield. July has not been determined yet.
Winners from each of those shows will move on to the finals, which will be held in August. This might be on the river, not sure yet.
Three of those bands will be invited to play at our music festival - the Third River of Life Music Festival. It has been held the first week in October. We may move it to the week before the Walnut Valley Festival.
The monthly shows will have local Christian bands. Any music style is welcome. Each band will get 20 minutes to play. Judges will pick a winner. The audience will also get to vote, and their vote will count as one judge.
We still have slots available for bands.
The first one should be interesting as it will be a learning experience for us.
It will be indoors though, and we will have electricity, so that should help. :)
If anyone wants to get involved - or for bands that might want to play - email us at musicfestival@sbcglobal.net
I use the words "bands," to include any musical act. It could be an individual.

Sounds awesome JJ, great job I know it has been hard work. The skate club is looking for a local band also. We would like to set up a fundraiser at a local location and have the cover charge go towards the new park. If you know of any bands that may be interested please give me a heads up.
Also we have started a blog for the children and turned it into the comunity blog people of the Traveler. We will be posting upcoming events, weekend pictures and videos, ordinance updates and local park news on the site. It is http://rampsandrails.blogspot.com/ for any who wish to view it before it gets up on the Traveler site.
Good job JJ
You have more bands than the KACY event and your event is free!

I am sure you mean the Midwest Rock Fest which is separte from KACY.
Last time I checked, the Midwest Rock Fest wanted more money for tickets than Rocklahoma, who had world famous rock bands, and they don't even have any bands booked yet. They better get someone really good for those prices.

Since you seem to be in the know about the fest, maybe you could answer a few questions?
Who is the band called TBA? They seem to be the only band on the schedule....
Who are the vendors? don't see any listed
Who are the suckers..er I mean the sponsors who are helping tio fund the festival?
I don't know anything other than it is not a KACY event. They were talking about it because it is a local event
we need more bands.
im getting a little nervous.
:)
I hope you were joking, but just in case you're not, TBA means to be announced.
I think the only thing that's going to be announced is the cancellation because they haven't booked any bands.
