Canteen Fest 2010 - Band Reunion....MUSIC!
Once again this is a band reunion bringing together the musical acts we knew and loved for one night of great classic music and in the spirit of brotherhood of reuniting with old friends. If you are old enough to remember those times then this event is tailored to you and would do not want to miss out on the fun and the memories. The name of the event has changed from SamStock 2009 to Canteen Fest 2010 for this years reunion blowout.
The date is Sunday Sept 5th at Floore's Country Store in Helotes, Texas. Labor Day weekend. Reunion hours are 3 to 11:00 pm. The bands go from 4:00 pm till 10:30. Admission price is $15 a person. Actual band members and players get in free but we ask that spouses and other general guests pay the cover charge at the door. No advance tickets required.
Great food and drinks will be available as the cafe restaurant will remain open till 10 pm and the bar till closing. All ages are welcome to the event.

General info and notices:
The list of players and bands who have expressed interest in playing the show has been outstanding. Some of the actual bands at the event will be a mix combination of new groupings consisting of former members from all the big name bands of the Teen Canteen era.
The Roster is jam packed with up to 15 bands. There are some 100 performers involved. This includes musicians, committee members, DJ's and MC's, and 4 or more sound and stage crew personal. It's a big show. It is also one of the largest gathering of players and old friends in one place at one time you will find this summer.
General instructions and info for the bands and members.
I wish to extend my thanks to all the players who expressed interest in playing the event. My heartfelt apologies to all those that were unable to be in the show.
Music should be of the era and the sets will be around 20 minutes or 4 to 5 songs each band. We ask that all bands contain other Canteen era players for your band mates. If you need help finding a player for a missing member write me and I can hook you up. We are making every attempt to get as many ex-canteen musicians a chance to play even if for only one song.
A back line of equipment will be provided for your use. This includes amps, drum kits, and keyboards.
Several DJ's and TV personalities will be present as MC's to the event introducing the bands as they take the stage.
