IMPORTANT:
-All bands must arrive this Saturday, May 31, in the lobby between the Expo North and South buildings at the Champlain Valley Exposition, Essex Junction (the fairgrounds) by 5:30pm (visit www.teenfestvt.com if you need directions).

- Check in at the Will Call ticket window at the event entrance (only on-stage band members will be admitted at no charge, which are those from the list you provided me with already), and ask for Marianne. She or her assistant will direct you to the band waiting area in the Expo North building.

- Bring your own drumsticks and pre-tuned guitars. Guitar and bass amplifiers, a 5-piece drum set and mics and monitors will be provided. There will be no sound check.

- Do not leave your instruments unattended. We are not responsible for theft or damage. If you want to come and enjoy the event early, you may check your instruments at the Will Call window at the event entrance.

- Lyrics have to be "Rated PG" or bands will be immediately disqualified.

- It will be a "plug-in and play" festival style situation. There is a short 2-minute transition between each band. No time for tuning or tinkering with instruments. Please be considerate of your fellow contestants – some have other gigs immediately following TeenFest.

Local celebrity judges will be on hand including: Dikki Nixx, bassist for Bone Cobra
Damon Brink, owner of Nectar's
Shyla Nelson, local vocal instructor extraordinaire
