CERN MusiClub Secretariat

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”.

The CERN MusiClub, in the 2009 AGM and again in the 2009/2010 Board Meeting, approved changes to the booking sheet rules.  They are as follows:

1.  You may only book one HIGH-USAGE spot per week.
2. HIGH-USAGE spots are Monday through Friday from 12h00-14h00 and again from 18h00-0h00.
3. All other spots, outside the times stated above, are available for multiple bookings.
4. You must alert everyone on the mailing list, IMMEDIATELY when bookings are not going to be used, CANCEL* your rendezvous, if possible.
5. Please do not book a “regular rehearsal spot” more than 2 months in advance.  This allows for new bands to get the High-Usage and/or prime weekend spots from time to time as well.
6. These rules will be used in both
   • the small locale at
     BAT. 52-S-08 and
   • the large locale in BAT. 566.

*discussion is ongoing about shortening the window for cancellations, it is currently set at no less than 48 hours before the rehearsal spot begin.
