We are an NH-based hard rock band competing to perform at this show. The above link was given to us by Meadowbrook because it includes the "RA12-SC" code at the end of it, and that helps us try and secure a position on the roster that day.
There is NO EXTRA CHARGE to use this link, but it helps us out tremendously!
