The pit is a great place for that, but as far as I
know just anyone isn't allowed to go in there.

Does UNC or Duke have rules for or against street
performances on campus?
Day of show, get street side and play acoustic while
handing out passes.....

Thanks for posting! One idea would be to bring
the
local acts to campus. Not to take away from
Glenn,
but there's already an apparent issue with getting
students en masse to clubs. But what about having
a
BYBBQ in the Cabaret (is it open yet?), maybe the
Great Hall or Union Auditorium? Early shows so
the
kids can make it out to the clubs and bars is they
wanna.

I'll keep trying the CUAB folks.

I would like to speak to the issue of promoting
local bands on campus
via organizations like the student-run radio
station
WXYC FM and the
Carolina Union Activities Board (CUAB). As the
Events Planner for WXYC
and as some one who has worked intimately with
the
CUAB Music Chair,
I'm familiar with the resources of both of these
organizations as well
as the logistics of project planning. Both WXYC
and
CUAB are invested
in local musicians. WXYC holds a (usually)
monthly
event called the
Backyard Barbeque at the Local 506, which is
linked
up with our local
music show of the same name. The BYBBQ show
features music of local
artists and interviews too. The monthly concert
hopes to realize our
mission to bring local music closer to the
student
body. In our
experiences, we have found attendance at the
BYBBQ
shows are often low.
As a management team, we are currently
evaluating
this situation and
brainstorming ways to bring students to the
local
music community. The
ideas that have been expressed so far include
the
desirability of
including a wider variety of local music groups
in
these live shows and
additionally focusing more on student bands an
on-campus events. If
members of this listserv forum wish to employ
campus
organizations such
as WXYC FM and CUAB to increase the
listenerships of
local bands, then
they should try sharing their ideas with
high-level
members of these
groups. You can contact me, Lauren Brenner, by
e-mail at
lbrenner AT email.unc.edu or you can call (919)
962-7768 or come to my
office hours at the radio station on Wednesdays
from
11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The CUAB Music Chair's name is Robert Gurdian
and he
can be reached at
rgurdian AT email.unc.edu. He holds office hours
Mondays and Wednesday in
the CUAB office at the student union from 1 p.m.
to
3 p.m.
