Once you get all your members lined up, you need to re-call your band by July 3rd, midnight. Confirm you are in by emailing sacramentohalloweenshow@gmail.com.

Depending on how many bands re-call, there may be an opportunity for a couple of waitlisted bands to get on the show. We will let you know on America Day.

A couple of notes about choosing: there were a few bands called by two people; we picked the call that came in first. In general, we chose those who were closest to the them, and people's explanations helped us with that.

Royalty

The theme is…….drum roll….ROYALTY! Let’s get regal, Sac! Your band must have a strong connection to royalty. Think kings and queens, yes, but also lesser titles of royalty all the way down (earls? viscounts?). The royal title could be in the name of the band, or it could be the first or last name (real or assumed) of the leader of the band. Nicknames are ok, but they must be widely known and accepted. Think: Carole King, Queens of the Stone Age, everybody knows Elvis is The King, etc. etc. Be creative! Some logistics: Saturday, August 31 st , Red Museum, 212 15 th st.  All ages.  Start time: TBD depending on number of bands – pretty early, but not, like, noon, jeez. We will keep you hydrated and fed.

Get out, meet new people, place a Craigslist ad for a trumpet player, learn to play the bass. That’s what this show is all about. 2)       Your set is 12 minutes 3)       You can only call one band. 4)       There has been a rule of no repeat bands (bands that have played in past Halloween shows); this rule is temporarily repealed for the 2024 Halloween show. After the calling closes, we will announce the list of bands on June 28th. At that point you will have to re-call your band. Historical...
