= Band Selection/Submission Info =

'''The Committee on Community Activities uses a specific process by which we select bands. The text is pasted below, alternatively you can follow this link to get a pdf. '''


 * 1) For all large scale events, the Committee on Community Activities accepts submissions for at least 10 calendar days. This process is publicized for at least 7 calendar days before it opens, and advertising continues during the entire process.
 * 2) All submissions must be submitted to the Committee on Community Activities in one of two ways.


 * a. The first way is by sending the Committee on Community Activities a digital file or electronic press kit. The audio file must be in the .mp3, .flac, or .ogg format.


 * b. The second way is to drop off or mail a physical CD to the Committee on Community Activities mailbox in the Campus Leadership and Activities office.


 * 3. All submissions must include the name of the individual submitting, the name ofthe artist, contact information for both the submitter and the artist, and if applicable, pricing information. Any additional information about the artist is welcome and may help the chances of the artist being selected.


 * 4. Submissions may contain an unlimited amount of audio files, but only 3 will be listen to during the “first pass.”


 * 5. It is absolutely necessary to submit contact information. Selections that do not contain this information will not be reviewed.

'''The Committee on Community Activities uses a “multi-pass” system to select artists for large scale events. These “passes” are described below.'''

In the first pass, all members of the Committee on Community Activities listen to 3 audio files from each artist. For DJs submitting mixes, the Committee on Community Activities will listen to at least 7 minutes of the mix (in total), focusing on music selection and song transitions. The Committee on Community Activities seeks out not only quality but also originality when selecting artists. After all of the submissions have been evaluated, the Committee on Community Activities votes to remove some of the artists from the submission process.

The second pass then begins; the members of the Committee on Community Activities re-listen to all of the artists that are still eligible. In this stage, the Committee on Community Activities will review all of the audio files that have been submitted, but may not listen to the entirety of each audio file. Also during this stage, the Committee on Community Activities begins to develop the event schedule and attempts to place artists in tentative spots in the lineup. The Committee on Community Activities can vote to accept a artist or deny an artist during the second pass. Some artists that the Committee on Community Activities wishes to bring based on their quality may not be selected if they cannot fit into the cohesive event schedule.

During the final pass, the Committee on Community Activities listens all of the remaining artists in the potential order they would be performing, and votes on the entire line up.

At least one artist is selected as a backup in the event of a scheduling conflict.

After the lineup has been approved, notice is sent to all who have submitted informing them of their status.
