by | Oct 17, 2024 | Chamber News

Rocktober is happening this Saturday! Rocktober is a new event that Ellington Studios is hosting to provide a valuable opportunity for all local musicians to collaborate with one another and perform in a fun way. The show will feature several local high school-aged bands each performing a twenty-minute setlist beginning around 11am. The first place prize is $1,000, second place is $500, and third place is $250. After the youth bands have competed, the “Roulette” bands will begin and go on until about 6pm.

Participants in Roulette will have a chance at winning $500 with randomly selected bandmates and songs. Each “band” will be given three random songs and will have 20 minutes to prepare. The winners will be determined by professional judges on factors such as stage presence, originality, and more! This event is a great opportunity for band members to not only make memories that will last a lifetime, but also gain experience and connections in the music industry.

Tickets are ONLY $15.00 and a portion of ticket sales will go to Harnett Central Middle School. Click here to order your tickets today.
