Memorial Tri-State Host families needed.

We are once again providing “host families” for many of our bands the festival.  Since its implementation a few years ago, it has been an overwhelming success, both from the host family’s point of view, and the band’s perspective. 

Host Families will provide a place for the band members to relax while they are at Kendallville.  This may be as simple as lawn chairs under their camper awning or a spot around their campfire.  Anything more than that is up to the host family.   I know that in the past, however, most families provided snacks or a meal at some point.  Some host families assisted with the merchandise tables while the band was on stage, provided an area for the band to practice around their campfire (and enthusiastic applause, of course!), and assistance in toting instruments to the stage, etc.

This is one more way we can make Tri-State a special and unique experience both for the bands and the host families.  Please consider joining us this time as a host family!  You can get a group of your friends together and host a band as a group, or host them by yourself.  This could be your experience of a lifetime.

Please check out our list of bands for this year’s festivals and call me if you are interested.  I guarantee you will have a blast with any of these bands!
