Camplified Summer Camp Tour 2005

Rock out and perform your music in front of a captivating and highly energetic market of 40,000 + influential teens and tweens through a completely untapped live entertainment performance space — summer camps!



This great opportunity to showcase your talent is in front of America's youth. This audience consists of the most influential tastemakers and spenders. You will have the chance to capture the hearts of teens and tweens – one of the more challenging demographics to reach – at the most musically influential time of their lives! Not to mention the fact that these tastemakers are also your best communicators! They will want to spread the word to their friends that they were part of the artist discovery process this summer at their camp.



Entering its third season, Camplified brings concert tours into prominent summer camps, featuring nationally touring acts from major and recognizable indie record labels. Camplified has reserved up to two performance slots – one week on the day camp tour and one week on the overnight camp tour – for Sonicbids artists to participate on this summer’s tour.



This year’s tour will feature headliners from Atlantic, Epic and Columbia Records and will reach approximately 50 camps from Maryland all the way to Maine and everywhere in between. Both the day camp and the overnight tours kick off on July 4 ending on August 18th, 2005, with attendance ranging from 500-1,500 teens/tweens per performance. A secondary audience of 5,000, 17-25 year old staff counselors, are also eager to take part in the fun and enjoyment of some great rock and pop music.



You will also be able to sell your merchandise on-site at most of the dates, create a mailing list and future interaction with your new fan base while CAMPLIFIED takes care of the PROMOTION! Your responsibility is to show up, rock out and entertain!

Important facts to keep in mind:

• All genres are being considered. Each 1-week tour will consist of up to 5 performances, during either afternoon or early evening hours
  
• Minimum backline will be provided
  
• Camplified is planning local radio promotions to publicize the artists as well as our sponsors
  
• Please keep in mind that if you are selected you will be performing for kids and we therefore require that you have absolutely no explicit lyrics and that your music is appropriate for kids as young as 5 for the day camp tour and as young as 9 for the overnight camp tour. Your attire can and should be trendy but your t-shirts, hats, pants can not explicitly suggest a negative message to this audience
  
• Artists are required to participate in autograph signings and other “meet and greet” events at each tour stop. Since the tour stops typically last up to a full day, artists are encouraged to participate in some of the activities with campers. Getting along with kids of all ages is a big plus as it generates future communication with your band and the kids
  
• International artists are encouraged to apply with application assistance provided

Camplified supports the growth of the camping experience for those in need by providing a portion of all proceeds to charities including the Morry’s Foundation and Foundation for Jewish Camping.
