On 30 Aug  & 31 Aug 2008 the Power Jam Music Alliance and St Mary's County will hold the  Park Rock Fest 2008 at the Chancellors Run Regional Park.  2008 will mark the 6th year of holding this event. 

There are Six music stages with 12 band (or more)  on each stage with a total of  125 (or more)  bands performing concurrently throughout the two days.  Surrounding the stages there are three areas to where vendors and community groups will be sharing and participating in the event.  The Food Court is where area vendors will satisfy the hunger and thirst of the attendees.  The Market Place is where area vendors will be displaying and or selling their merchandise.  Lastly, the Community Center for civic, educational, welfare and social organizations will be sharing their group's goals, ideas and services.  Click on this link to get the Park Rock website (www.Parkrock.com) and investigate the music program and community participation from last year 2007. 

The gates for Park Rock Fest open at 9 AM and close at 11 PM on both days.  The current 12 bands is based on a  band playing a  30 to 45 minute set.  The order given below is not the play order, it is the order in which we received the booking.  The producer for the stage is responsible for determining the band play order for the program.  The music program will be published on the Park Rock website.  

We also have Hot backup bands and  Standby Band list.  Hot Backup bands come to the event ready to play and when a band is not on site 1 hour before their set time they will be replace by the Hot Backup and the scheduled band will become a hot backup band.  The Standby Band list  are bands waiting to move into the Hot Backup or scheduled program slot.  When a band cancels, the replacement band is picked from either the Hot Backup or Standby Band list depending upon the music program for the stage.

In past years we had hoped to provide a $100 stipend to each of the bands, however the attendance growth has been lower that needed and high security cost made  this impractical, so we will sponsor our 3rd Park Rock Thank You party on 10 Nov and provide each band gas money.    This year we will start with a more reasonable goal based on what we have been able to give each band for the past years of at least $50 stipend with the the goal increasing the the amount based on the  attendance  (i.e. $12,000 surplus would be required to obtain the goal of $100 each). Bands get free access to the event for both days.

PJMA is the organizer of this event however it is the alliance volunteers that actually produce the event.   We are in need of  volunteers for the various positions in the Park Rock Committee that is planning and running the event. The roster of volunteers and open positions is provided below.  The volunteers get to share their skills in running a professional event.  All volunteers get free access to the fest.

As with all PJMA events, this is a drug free, alcohol free, and obscenity free event.  Please be familiarly with our PJMA guidelines for participation and vendor responsibilities.  The Park Rock Operating Plan has a detailed description of the event and plans (2008 version)

The rest of this page is for booking of bands, vendors, community groups and volunteers for the event.    Links are provided at the top of the page to go to the desired schedule.

Yes you see it, a registration deposit of $20!  Why?  Because we have move to a more professional booking and commitment by bands for the music program.  For the past 2 years we have been requesting this deposit.  The bands have been more responsive to pre-event coordination and also has minimize bands that fail appear to perform.  This has reduced overbooking, hardships to the performing bands schedules, scheduling problems for the producers and poor entertainment value for the attendees.  The band's registration deposit of  $20 is needed to be considered for review by the producers and scheduling on the advertised program.  The Registration Deposit will be fully refunded to the band if the band is not schedule play, when the band  performs at the Park Rock or if the band notifies us by e-mail prior to the Park Rock that the band can not perform.  The Registration Deposit will be lost when the band does not contact us to cancel before 1 Aug or fails to appear to perform at the event.  When you appear at the at the event your $20 will be refunded to the person who signs the band in at the headquarters band registration desk

Please either mail us $20 cash or money order  to PJMA, 45870 Bob's Court, Lexington Park MD or send by Paypal to fred@pjma.info
