Attention, all Japanese pop music-inspired artists in Metro Manila! OngakuSociety is now accepting song-and-dance group and band applications for audition slots to perform at the next major OS event slated for October 2007!
*We require complete disclosure of the names and positions of band members; only the given and last names of the individual members (plus known aliases or online handles) will be accepted. Bands who fail to declare all the members of their line-ups or withold information on the identity of their band members will be disqualified from the auditions.
Auditioning bands must prepare at most three (3) songs: one Japanese track, and two songs of their choice (original compositions are allowed).
We’ve got good news for musicians with multiple bands! Individual musicians are now allowed to audition as members of two different bands, under several
conditions.
- He is a member of a maximum of two bands auditioning for OngakuSociety.
- These two bands should not feature almost identical line-ups**.
- These two bands should not feature almost identical set-lists.
** Three or more members of one band cannot be members of another band together; if this is the case then only one band will be allowed to audition, while the other band will be asked to step down. Bands who fail to declare all the members of their line-ups or withold information on the identity of their band members will be disqualified from the auditions.
Lastly, we’d like to congratulate several bands and groups who have been pre-selected for performance slots at the October and Novmber gigs! Bands and groups who have performed extremely well at any of our previous events should look out for e-mail notifications direct from the OS mods. If your band or group has been pre-selected, kindly send a return e-mail to us for confirmation of your performance slot.
For further inquiries, you may also e-mail us at admin[at]ongaku[dash]society[dot]org or visit our message boards. Deadline for submission of applications is on August 24, 2007. Auditions are slated for September 8 and 9, 2007.
