Hey there Hardronicizers!

The calendar has flipped and it’s time to start planning the next Hardronic Music Festival. The first step is to find out how many bands want to play the festival on 20 July.

If your band would like to play AND help plan and run the Festival, please drop me a note (gboyd at cern dot ch) with:

Band name
Band members
A link to your music, if you are new to the Festival.
The jobs your band has committed to helping with - see spreadsheet.

Please keep in mind that all band members for applying bands must be paid members of the CERN Musiclub.

Thanks,
Rusty Boyd
Hardronic Engineer

The Hardronic Music Festival is held every year on the Patio of Restaurant 3 at the Prevessin site. Although it began as a generic music festival 23 years, ago it now features the best blues, rock and pop bands in the CERN Musiclub. The festival is produced and run by Musiclub members, friends and family. Featuring a warm atmosphere, great music and wonderful food, the Festival has in recent years also doubled as the CERN Summer Student party, with students pitching to help, too. All the CERN staff, users, visitors, students, family and friends are invited to join in the biggest and best party at CERN.

For examples of the great music and fun we have, search Youtube for “Hardronic”.

In cooperation with our CERN security staff, we have made arrangements that should make it much easier for friends not in possession of a CERN ID badge to attend the 2011 Hardronic Music Festival. Access can be arranged, as follows:

1. Enter with someone who has a CERN ID badge. Any CERN MusiClub member is eligible to apply for one, free of cost (see the link on the home page).
2. Have your friend or family member download an Official 2011 Hardronic Music Festival Guest Pass/Invitation, enter your name(s) then sign and print his/her CERN ID number. All you have to do then is present your official signed invitation to the guard at the Prevession site entrance.

It’s just that simple! We are grateful to the CERN security service for allowing us to make these special arrangement for the convenience of the CMC friends, fans and family.
