Winterfest 2023 Sign-ups

[Luventhariel]

Winterfest 2023 will be held on the lake below Thorin's  Hall, from December 8th through 12th.  Bread & Jam on Ice will start at 10pm on  Friday the 8th.

 

Bands should prepare sets of 50-55 minutes, have an additional encore or two if running fast, and prepared to drop a song if running behind.  If technical difficulties occur, as they do, we'll obviously be lenient, but for the most part, every minute a band runs over time is a song that another band may have to drop.  Having a scheduling delay also affect those who may wish to show up at a certain time to see a band.  Let's all look out for each other.

If you haven't submitted a profile for our Bands pages, head *here* for the simple form, or *here* for an advanced interview.  

If you've already submitted a profile, but wish to update it or add to it, head *here*.

If you haven't submitted a picture for your band, or would like to update one, stop by our *gallery*.

As with this last Winterfest, we'll be asking if your band will be singin lyrics in your songs, so that we can announce it during your introduction.  Please join the "Event" channel to use for our silly fun banter while bands are singing.

Please join the "Bands" channel for direct communication with Event coordinators and emcees.

As before you will be asked for your preferred times, and then any additional times that you can play.  We would love to have everyone play during their preferred time, but obviously if 10 bands all pick the same time, that won't work out well at all, but we'll try our hardest to make everyone happy.  We've been blessed to have a good number of bands with a lot of flexibility.  Please make a note if there are any extenuating circumstances that limit the times you can play (hailing from overseas, etc).

We know times are strange right now, and things can change rapidly, so please let us know if anything changes with your availability as soon as you are able to.

 Applications will remain open until all time-slots are filled or until November 18th.

Please list your times on EDT (-4 GMT/Server Time/Boston) or indicate your local time zone.

Because there are only so many hours in a day, there are only so many timeslots to fill.
