Another reality television show has been borne of the American Idol tradition, The Next Great American Band. Instead of searching for individual singing talent, the Fox Network is searching for bands, in any style or age group. If you're in a band and looking for some immediate notoriety, here's how to get started with that audition process.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • Videotaping equipment
  • DVD making equipment

Step1
Choose a song for your audition that best explains who you are as a band, as far as style and personality.
Step2
Record a video of your band performing their chosen song, and make it perfect. You won't waste time by doing several takes.
Step3
Add to your video interviews with band members and anything else you think might explain just what your band is all about.
Step4
Transfer your video to a DVD format, preferably. If not, VHS format is acceptable.
Step5
Label your DVD with the appropriate information, including the band name, who to contact, and an address and phone number.
Step6
Mail in your DVD, application (can be found on the main website), and a copy of each band member's driver's license, along with one of either a birth certificate, passport, or social security card.

Tips & Warnings

  • Film your video in front of a dark or distant background.
  • Do not send in audio CDs or tapes.
  • Only United States citizens or permanent legal residents are allowed to audition.
