General admission for the contest and concert that night is $5.00 per person and $25.00 per family. Contestants will not be charged admission as they've already paid their contest entry fee. A CD or DVD of each band's performance will be available for purchase if requested in advance.
We're pleased to have Kat Larsen and Stacey Francom from the band Silver City Pink, and Stuart Maxfield from the band Founding Fathers as our judges this year. They will be mindful of audience response to each band, so tell as many friends, family, even strangers off the street to come cheer you on.
That evening a concert featuring the Bluegrass band, Gift Horse, will round out the day of great music. This band boasts state winners in fiddle, mandolin, banjo, and guitar so you definitely want to hear their music. For more information about Gift Horse, check out their website
Door prize tickets will be sold throughout the day for $1.00 each. Feel free to buy as many tickets as you're able since a guitar and other great prizes will be given away that night.
The Institute of American Music Foundation (IAMF) is a non-profit and tax-exempt organization. One of its capacities will be to serve as an agency of sorts for family bands, ensembles and individuals to post their information (photo, bio and recorded music sample) for promotional purposes. The IAMF website will promote and market groups and individuals, enabling them to play at various events and venues such as Thanksgiving Point and Old Deseret Village. This will be a free service for IAMF participants. We also want to inform musicians of recording facilities where individuals and groups can record samples for the website. Geoff Groberg is willing to record people in his home for $25.00 an hour. He can be reached by phone at 794-1265 or by email at geoff@geoffgroberg.com
Another Foundation goal is to sponsor an outreach program where underprivileged children can study acoustic music with highly trained teachers free of charge or at a reduced rate.
We envision IAMF as an educational site where people can log on to receive lessons, exams in theory, ear training, note reading, etc. in order to further their musical knowledge. All of this will require endowment funding, which is now in its early planning stages. We are excited and empowered by the capacity for good the Foundation has to make a positive contribution to the world through music education.
