GSC Acoustic Band BBQ

This May (5/14, 5 – 8 pm), the GSC is hosting its annual Acoustic BBQ! On stage at the Stata amphitheater (outside Stata on the Hockfield Court side), bands will show off their skills under the summer sun. They'll bring the food and host the venue, but they need YOU to sign up and show off those musical chops!

For those who want to take the stage, both groups and solo acts are welcome! If you have a band, a group of friends ready to get up on stage, or even just latent musical talent that’s ready to impress, we want to see it! Please sign up using this form so we can set up the shindig. If you have the skills but not the equipment, that’s ok! We’ll be renting equipment, and you can indicate in the form what you would need.

If you have any questions, please contact gsc-ac-chairs@mit.edu
