DON'T WAIT (...AGAIN)

Tonight - we're announcing a reworked promotion to form The Next Xband.

Over the last 15 years, there are untold musicians across our region who have earned scholarships or found professional ways of making a living as musicians - but if you remember reading about or even hearing about it, that case is the exception.  Sadly, seeing it recognized and celebrated by local news media or schools is just as uncommon…if not more so.

In 2006, Xband was formed - eventually bringing a positive and impossible-to-ignore experience to regional public high school musicians.  It was eventually invited to perform in Cleveland and Columbus, at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and in storied clubs in both cities.

Xband is back, and extended to public high school musicians from CRAWFORD, SENECA, HURON, RICHLAND, MORROW, MARION and WYANDOT counties (OH).

Registrations and submissions will be accepted until The Next Xband is staffed with motivated, accomplished musicians from across our region, and for the next four months, we’re combining our efforts to form The Next Xband with another promotion we’re passionate about.

There aren’t many young musicians interested in learning to play guitar - which is another thing we’ve been working on for the last 5-6 years.  This time, we’re inviting the FIRST qualifying musician to send a submission to join The Next Xband from each of the next four months (starting in January) to WIN a guitar.  Here are the rules:

- Send in a qualifying submission according to the details & rules provided at http://sonicspotlight.com/events/24nextxband/ (don’t forget to read the PDF by clicking the blue button at the bottom of the page).

- Follow Sonic Spotlight Productions on Facebook and/ or Instagram

- Attend a face-to-face program in Bucyrus at 7:30PM on January 9, February 13, March 13, or April 10 - accompanied by a parent/ guardian.

- Bring 1-2 friends from your school with you who play saxophone, trumpet, or trombone.  They must be in Grades 8 through 11, they must also follow Sonic Spotlight Productions on Facebook and/ or Instagram - and also be accompanied by a parent/ guardian.

- There are four guitars.  You can only win once…but submissions sent earlier in the promotion will have the opportunity to pick from more guitars.

If it seems like its almost impossible to NOT win the guitar, don’t be:  it IS almost impossible.
