UCLA DIY Music Marketing Concert Tips 1

Important points from day one: The Class Concert

1) Communication is essential to the success of the concert: Everyone should be constant touch with each other to ensure that everyone is always on the same page.

2) Delegate: Each person involved in the show should have a separate responsibility. Working in small groups on one task is also okay.

3) Resources: Scan the class to see what resources are available and take advantage. There are people in the class who are experts at photoshop, and potentially people in the class who own their own studio and can burn CDs and make compilations.

4) Deadlines: meet all deadlines. Don't wait till tomorrow to do what can be done today.

5) Decide who is playing the show and make sure to get a set order in place. No one is an opener or headliner.
