Here’s how it works: SIGN UP! No experience on your instrument is necessary, but a bit is helpful! We’ll randomly place you into bands with folks you've (ideally) never played with before.**

The pre-gathering and announcing of band assignments will be held at Red, White and Brew (147 State Street, Rochester, NY, 14614) on Wednesday, September 14, 2022 from 6–8:30pm! MARK YOUR CALENDARS! This gathering is mandatory in order to participate!

The bands have eight weeks to come up with a short set, composed of originals and one cover (15 minutes max: 2-3 original songs and one cover). GR!R will lend gear to folks that don't have the instruments that they need.

The ~final fundraiser show spectacular~ is on Saturday, November 19, 2022 at Lovin' Cup!!! The show will start at 7pm.

We invite individuals who identify as women, trans, non-binary or members of the LGBTQ community to sign up.* We welcome and greatly value individuals of any gender identity to participate in more indirect ways. (i.e. band promoter, door person, event volunteer, sponsor liaison, stage team, etc.)

*Folks must be 18 years or older (and out of high school!) to sign up for this event.


To sign up, please fill out the form, and we'll get back to you shortly to confirm your spot!
