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.
PURCHASE
ONLINE NOW FOR ONLY $25
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.
