The first Rockband Revolution will take place at the Fergus Grand Theatre on Nov. 7.
A community initiative focused on families, the event will feature a friendly competition involving the widely popular Rockband® interactive game. The event is an opportunity to encourage young people to get involved with interactive music performance as an alternative to standard video gaming. It also demonstrates new possibilities for future use of the Fergus Grand Theatre.
“The Fergus Grand Theatre offers many opportunities for new types of events,” said Mary Lloyd, Partner at Ralph Basset Associates Inc. “Rockband Revolution is intended to engage young people in community events. We hope to bring attention to youth-related organizations in the area while increasing awareness about possibilities for community usage of the facility.”
Participants may compete in one of four age categories: 8 to 12 individual, 13 and over individual, 13 to 17 band of four, or all-ages band. Bands are encouraged to dress up and a prize will be awarded for the best-dressed band.
Advanced registration is recommended. Registration is $10 per individual or $25 for a band of four and includes three attempts to accumulate the highest score. Prizes will be awarded to winners with the highest score in each category.
Admission is free.
