Singapore Drumfest 2008 - PLEASE DISSEMINATE!

Dear Strikeforce,

This is a special appeal to everyone. We need all your help and support to push ticket sales for Drumfest 2008 Main Event & Concert In The Park (CITP).

The truth of the matter is that we are only 4 days away from the event, but tickets sales have been less than satisfactory, to say the least. If ticket sales do not pick up for the next few days, the event will likely fall flat cos the size of the audience will be disproportionately small compared to the quality and quantity of performers we are putting up! The finances of the event will also suffer as a result.

We have to do something about this. Both Drumfest's reputation and Boon's finances are at stake here! We are therefore appealing to everyone to do whatever you can to help do a last effort push to spread the word around and to encourage our musically-inclined friends to buy tickets for the event.

So, what specifically can we do? You can start by doing the following:

  • For those with friends, family/relatives, cg members or colleagues/classmates who play drums or in a band or just love music, call them up / sms them and let them know you are performing and get them to catch this great show and support you at the same time! There are even some free musical masterclasses lined up for all who are interested!
  • For those who have a blog, plug the event, the e-flyers and the youtube trailer on your blog:
    • E-flyer for Main Event: http://www.singaporedrumfest.com/images/me.jpg
    • E-flyer for CITP: http://www.singaporedrumfest.com/images/citp.jpg
    • Youtube Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HffSs5olYpA
  • For those with Facebook, please go to the event page and share with all your friends: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event.php?eid=21732204932&ref=nf
  • For those who can spare the time, spread the word online by posting on various forums, websites and comments to blogs.
  • For those who are financially independent, buy some tickets and bless someone with them! You can use this as an opportunity to invite and fellowship with new connect group friends!
  • Last but not least, you can help to forward the following section to all your contacts on your email mailing list!
