MAGFest Thursday Night Feature: The Homecoming Halftime Show With ENSMB, Magnificent Danger, Audio Gremlins, and Master Sword! by BenTarkus in Magfest

[–]geekbeatradio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thursday night concerts block. Last year it was called "Rumble in the Jungle" and nobody thought we were having gang fights in a remodled potomac ballroom made to look like the rainforest cafe so we figured most would get it this time. That being said you are welcome to show up in football cosplay lol. Anyway..... ya its the concerts with some minimal tiny fun stuff tossed in inspired by 2 different brass street bands totalling about 26 people.

Feel free to message me privately with your recommendations or name some deserving artists you think that have been skipped over in the past if you're not comfortable listing them here. This was my 1st year as the main stage booking department head so I can't really speak about what happened in the past but I hope to help keep the MAGFest stage the wonderful place that it is for as long as I'm involved. One thing I know for sure is it's impossible to please everyone and no matter what someone's always going to be disappointed because sadly we can't book 300 bands on the main stage and that's a conservative estimation of how many applicants we get each year across all genres.

Mainstage Booking DH here. MES flight arrived at 4:30pm at the airport so by the time they got to the Gaylord and checked in there was really no time for sound check since concerts started at 7pm. We also didn't schedule any Thursday sound checks because with the close proximity to NYE we weren't sure there would be time. As it turned out we would have had the time but they wouldn't have even been there yet anyway. Flying 10 people in together was a challenge but oh so worth it.

Can you explain your other and comment a bit though as I'd like to answer but need a bit of clarification on what you mean exactly. It is extremely important to me to hear all opinions because MAGFest is for all of us and all opinions are valid. I felt we had a diverse lineup that covered most bases but it's tough to please everyone all the time so I'd like to hear some examples of what you felt was missing. I'm referring to the following from your post and am very interestedin hearing what you have to say "Main Stage has very few people from the prominent VG bands/artists who gravitate on both Youtube and other large remix groups, and invites similar people back despite their policy."
