However in last year Poland organized Euro 2012, through this Audioriver has experienced decrease in funding because companies engage in sponsorship of the football event. Therefore the festival in 2013 may expect an increase in sponsorship by about 10%, moreover, are taking place negotiations with the council of Plock, relating to financing increase by half (Kowalski, 2012). City of Plock gains as the host about 1 million pounds, flowing from the expenditure of tourists participating in the festival, moreover gaining invaluable town promotions. For comparison, a similar OFF festival in Katowice from the city receives about 500 thousand pounds (gazetaprawna,
...Maine. More than 80,000 fans show up to these events. These events are usually the cause of huge traffic jams and a three day party. People come from all over the world just to experience the sense of community, as well as the intriguing music.
Sponsorship and advertisement music more or less do good for artists. From loss of money from album sales, advertising and sponsorships in music often put money in the artist's pocket. This is good for most artists struggling from album sales to make a living.
Bands make so much money at Warped from merchandise. Everyone there buys the bands merchandise. There is many fans that love to buy their favorite bands merchandise at Warped Tour instead of going online. Another way to buy your favorite bands merchandise is at Hottopic. But that is at Edison Mall only. They’re very expensive also. When you go to Warped Tour you get music also. You also get to meet random people with the same music taste as you.
Since the early twentieth century, the role of music contests and festivals has been integral to the growth and development of school band programs, and parallel to this role has been the discussion of the function of competition in these events. In a study of the first national band tournament Holz (1960) asserted that “[The contest] provided the occasion and the reason for the merging of musical, educational, and commercial efforts in a common cause – the simultaneous democratization and artistic improvement of instrumental music in schools”. Joseph E. Maddy, the first full time Supervisor of Music in Rochester, New York, spoke favorably of the early band contests; “The radical changes in instrument manufacturing, band publications, and improved performance standards which occurred would have taken one hundred years had it not been for the contest movement” (Fonder, 1983). Despite the positive responses from Holz and Maddy, Birge (1966) reported, “ Early in the contest movement educators felt that the intensely competitive factor lessened the educational value of the events”. Music educators of this period were also critical of the (1) contest format, (2) eligibility requirements, (3) adjudication procedures, and (4) the emphasis on “winning” (Payne, 1997). The positive and negative traits of these early band contests have been reported by many (Burdett, 1985; Moore. 1972; Hansen, 2004; Holz, 1960; Humphreys, 1981; Whitehill, 1969; Yarberry, 1979), but the role of competition and contests continues to divide the music profession philosophically and serve as a catalyst for debate when discussing their place in music education.
Culture is an important aspect to the society we live in today. With the economy so hard to live in, it’s making it harder for the individuals to meet their needs. There are many cultures that are around the world that is different in many ways. One way that many cultures come together is through the cultural events today. Cultural events are events pertaining to cultures, such as a feast or festivals. By attending cultural events, you experience firsthand the diverse offering of culture and artistic expression found in a community. The Essence Music Festival and the Mardi Gras are two of the festivals that many people attend for all over the world.
There have been many events in the course of music history that has shaped how what becomes popular and what is deemed “proper” in terms of music we should be consuming. In 1991, Lollapalooza, a multi city touring festival in the United States, highlighting alternative culture changed how music was consumed from there on forward. With the popularity of the festival and the highlighting of the alternative culture it represented the music industry took note, not long after the festival and explosion of alternative music hit mainstream music culture. New bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots and bands who had been around awhile but had a smaller marginalized audiences such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers found mainstream success in a post Lollapalooza music environment. The affects of these bands are still resonating through the music that is listened to today, and without Lollapalooza there would have not been the event that signalled to the decision makers in the music industry that this kind of music could be popular to the masses.
They have to make sure that the price their charging for their festival is a reasonable price for the customers willing to come and have to make sure the location of the festival is in a safe area for customers travelling to the festival. Lastly, because the event is in outdoor event the parklife organisers should have all the equipped requirements to deal with any problems with the weather indoor. Facilities should be available to customers at the festival to keep them dry for customers coming to the parklife festival they will feel like they have paid a reasonable price to go to the parklife festival if services like this are possible during unpredictable
These festivals have strict entry pat-downs and searches to check the people who attend if they bring illegal substances. In my opinion drug use is an individual choice, and the music festivals should not be the blame for the choices that people make at their events once they have done their usual protocol of drug search. One thing you should be concerned about if you’re ever going to EDC is the prices. Paying the hotel in Vegas, a ticket to the festival, meals, drinks and transportation makes it expensive, but completely worth it and to be honest, it’s a fair price. Tickets are 400 dollars maximum, but you can get the early bird, which is 375 dollars in total including fees and for VIP its 800 dollars in total.
According to Don Heckman, "Individually and collectively, (the Gerald Clayton Trio's) performance was at a stunningly high professional level-enhanced by the enthusiastic feeling of exhilaration in everything they played." (2002). On March 22, I attended a live, acoustic world music concert during this semester. Concert performed by Gerald Clayton and played in the Capitol Theatre at 7:30 p.m. with Joe Sanders on bass and drum player Pete Van Nostran. Gerald Clayton played six songs to the audience from the "Life Forum" album that is new sounds he recently released and his previous works "Bond" and "Two Shade." It is very surprising Gerald Clayton became a world famous jazz musician. He has well connected background of jazz musicians in his family. His father is ‘bassist John Clayton’, and his uncle is alto sax musician ‘Jeff Clayton’. According to his interview, “It was a blessing to be exposed to good music my entire life," he said. "There was a lot of love in the community and my dad played with and it was great to see them joking with each other and playing together and I was always welcome. And the best thing about wanting to play jazz for a living is that my parents didn’t suggest I come up with plan B if it didn’t work out.” Clearly, he is one of the most successful and famous jazz musicians al over the world with his honest parents.
We play music loudly with our friends and families at social gatherings and ultimately it creates a friendly and open atmosphere. Now the last thing we would think about would be that at one of these social events one of us may die. In recent years there have been more and more deaths and injuries at musical festivals all throughout the United States. Although the number is much lower than deaths and injuries from automotive accidents they should not be over looked. Music festivals are becoming more and more popular and people are flocking to festivals all around the United States. These music festivals in today’s society have turned into drug infested parties in which people’s live are endangered and people themselves are exposed to drugs and unsafe festival conditions.
Electronic Dance Music, also known as EDM, has increased in popularity over the past few years. The spike in popularity has helped create a bigger industry for EDM event planners. For example, the founder and CEO of Insomniac (a popular EDM event planning company), Pasquale Rotella is worth ten million dollars alone. In the 2014 Electric Daisy Carnival trailer, Rotella said, “Finally, I’ve felt like we’re getting somewhere,” in regards to the popularity and impact of these festivals. Because thousands upon thousands of people attend these festivals and the fact that industry has grown immensely over the past few years, this musicking experience is very significant. Experiencing electronic dance music at the festivals is nothing like listening to it at home.
Minimum wage from gainful employment must be sufficient to pay all necessary costs for life, shelter, and health care in the proportion of 100% for 40 hours weekly invested and directly proportional for fewer hours. This investment of time includes, in addition to hours of actual live performance, those hours spent in practice, rehearsal, preparation, post-production and (when required by the employer) promotion of the event. In absolutely no instance shall this total work investment be compensated for less than federally mandated minimum wages.

Believe it or not The Coachella Music and Arts Festival started out as a protest in 1993. The band Pearl Jam protested against Ticketmaster and all the auditoriums they controlled in Southern California in November of 1993. They chose to host in their concert at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. It wouldn't be until six years later that the festival would be founded by Paul Tollett with help from Goldenvoice, a promoting company and brings thousands of fans out to the Colorado Desert of the very first Coachella Music Festival in 1999. The debut of Coachella was headlined by acts like Beck, The Chemical Brothers, and Rage Against the Machine and was amazing and went quite well for being first run. The first festival as it was could not compare to the ones that followed with even more attractions. In fact the first Coachella Music Festival was held in October and only at the two day event and there was no on site camping due to the madness at Woodstock'99. Many other things happen during and after the first festival including 1999 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival taking $800,000 hit on the inaugural event. That Paul Tollet mentioned in his interview with Billborads Mitchell Peters. They also It was not...
