GET A MUSIC SHOWCASE WRISTBAND FOR ONLY $25

One $25 wristband lets you see over 400 different bands from around the world, playing all over Indianapolis for three days straight. That works out to something like 6.3¢ per band, which is pretty much cheaper than anything else ever. To get your wristband, go to midwestmusicsummit.com, phone 317-632-1200 ex. 22, or visit Luna Music, Vibes Music or Indy CD and Vinyl. You can’t go to parties or seminars, but if that’s not important to you, this is the way to go. And go soon, because the price goes up $5 on July 21.

JUST PAY A COVER CHARGE

If you don’t have time to make a weekend of this, and just want to see one or two bands, you can pay a cover charge at the club. That charge will vary according to what band is playing. Visit midwestmusicsummit.com to see a schedule of what bands are playing where, when. And then show up early, because shows fill up fast. Seriously.

GET A CONFERENCE REGISTRANT BADGE

Badges are $100, but here’s the deal: you can go anywhere with a badge. And we mean anywhere. You can see bands at exclusive parties that people with wristbands can’t see. You can go to panel discussions with top industry executives. And if you’re a qualified music professional yourself, you’ll get access to the 2005 NAMM Summer Session. Again, if you want one of these, you’d better get one now. Because the price on these babies goes up $50 on July 19. Purchase online at midwestmusicsummit.com, or phone 317-632-1200 ex. 22.
