By now you should have an idea of
what show will we do, or what type of show should we do. It is at this time
that you look to accompanying someone else and their act. A community music
group should have the flexibility to act as a backup to another act.
A
good way of doing this is to sponsor a small music festival. Start out for a
Saturday/Sunday Festival. Do you know that according to professional services
consulting firm Deloitte looked at the highest grossing performing acts in the
United States from 2000-2009 and found that 40% of the top twenty lead singers
were 60 years old or older, 19% were in their 50’s, 35% were in their 40s, and
just 6% were in their 30s, while none of the lead singers were under 30 years
old. The most attended venue by these performers is the local festival venue.
Why
did I mention this, besides the fact that it just kind of showed up for the
party in my head, because it these ages that matter as far as what kind of
music to try and perform. Those 60-year-old singers have a music catalogue that
has spanned the length of time. Plan a festival of music that might feature
selections from our 60-year-old performer, art from the local painter, crafts
from the local craft maker.
The
bottom line is that anything, and idea, and plan that get musical instruments
in the hands of the community for the sole purpose of healthy entertainment is
worth any story about 60-year-old famous singer.
