Good Morning Vietnam,

Now that Spring Break is in the air, it must be time for the Nightmare Before Christmas known as the Halloween show. So dust off those Red Shoes and get ready for some Dirty Dancing. Lets get down to some Risky Business, this years theme is really Over the Top: Movie Soundtracks!

This year's theme is Breaking Away from tradition. You pick a movie and perform three songs from the soundtrack.  For example, were you to choose Caddyshack, you could play "I'm Alright," "Anyway You Want It," and "Boogie Wonderland." This theme will allow for a wide variety of genres, thus avoiding a Metalstorm ( the destruction of Jared-Syn).  You are encouraged to dress as characters from the movie; you are welcome to have extras—bring it to life, make a Splash.

Here's the rules:

-You can only be in two bands, maximum.

-Bands can only do three songs. 

-You cannot be on stage more than 15 minutes. Don't go Overboard.

-No more than two people from an existing band can be in a band together.

- You have two weeks from this day to call your band. 

FAQ

-How do I call my band?

Name your band in the comments of this blog. After two weeks comments will be closed. We will make a master list then and post it. Please don't call 6 bands and then make us decide for you.

-Can I bring my own equipment?

No, there will be enough equipment at the show. We need to keep things running smoothly, no matter how sweet your guitar is. We will have a backline, not to be confused with a Backdraft.

-When is it?

March 10th. You have less than Nine 1/2 Weeks actually closer to 8 1/2.

-Where is it?

No idea, we are totally Clueless—you tell us. All suggestions will be entertained. Ideally a place that will give us a lot of freedom. In most cases this rules out existing venues and businesses. Think the Hub, not just some Roadhouse.

-Can I do the soundtrack to a documentary?

No Al, you can't do Athens, Ga. Inside Out
Biopics, mockumentaries and general works of fiction are fine. 

Some Kind of Monster = out 

Coal Miners Daughter = in

-Can I do a Fictional Band?

Yes, Spinal Tap or Josie and the Pussycats are fine.

-What about something like Yellow Submarine or Spiceworld?

Totally fine. Here's The Thing, those are works of fiction, not about the bands themselves. Sorry Al, U2 3d is out, concert movies are out too.

How about TV shows?
No.

I know this seems like a lot of rules but we trying to avoid another Marathon, Man.  Let's get everyone home Before Sunrise.
