Happy New Year! I hope you had a safe and wonderful Holiday Season. We have some terrific things planned for 2011, and thank you in advance for your support! Check out the new updates:
OrlandoBands.com Welcomes Sara Shuman
After interviewing several very accomplished candidates for our Street Team Lead position, we are excited to announce Sara Shuman will be helping to take over Street Team operations for the OrlandoBands.com project. Our plans to help promote and spread the word about Central Florida's talent are moving forward in 2011 and we look forward to introducing some new features to the Street Team. Sara's experience with live event production, promotions and drive to move the project forward will aid OrlandoBands.com as well as all of the musicians, artists and industry professionals that support us. If you are interested in joining the OrlandoBands.com Street Team and taking advantage of the benefits, please let us know!
New Years Cleaning!
We have recently spent time cleaning up the web link directories. Links that directed to invalid/bad URL's have been removed. You may want to double check your weblink, or add it if you have not already. We average 12.5 referrals a month to our free weblink directories! In an effort to keep things organized, a new category has been added for the Artist Directory called "Beyond Central Florida". If your band is based roughly more than 1 hour away from Orlando, your link may have been moved to this category. We have been seeing more weblink submissions from out of state, and even the country.
