Hoping to start something new in West Lafayette/Lafayette

I am one of the directors of development for Boiler Communication, a student-run PR firm affiliated with PRSSA. So, basically I'm trying to increase our funding by coming up with some different fundraising ideas and implementing them. Here's my idea...one of our clients is the Lafayette Theater, and they are looking to get more involved with Purdue and the local community. I think it would be awesome to start an annual Battle of the Bands for people in West Lafayette and Lafayette. I'm hoping this will attract a lot of bands whether they are kids in high school or students at Purdue. It's still a work in progress and probably won't happen until next semester. I'll be pitching the idea soon though!

  1. The Lafayette Theater has done a great job with events in Lafayette: concerts, movies, rentals and especially, for my own enjoyment, the open mic nights every Thursday with cheap beer. Good on you for the idea you mentioned.

  2. I actually found out that Lafayette Theater had already had a plan for a Battle of the Bands type of event prepared. I didn't find out until after I posted this.
