What is a Flashband Showcase?
  • You form a temporary band at a jam, and play a show a month later.
  • At the meet-and-greet jam, you speed-date with other musicians and rotate rooms with your instruments (super fun)
  • Before the show, you have to form a band, pick songs around a theme, and put together a 15-minute set.
  • All Flashband Showcases are on Saturday nights at sweet live music venues around DC, and typically feature 8-10 bands.
  • All participants also get professional photos of you performing, as well as a sweaty band group shot right afterwards... 
  • A great way to meet new people, play music, and even form a more permanent band if you're looking for that!
  • ​Generally, it costs $30 to register, which includes all of the above.

​Flashband has had a huge impact on the music scene in DC, especially for the 7DC community! After its birth in 2012, Flashband has hosted over 50 showcases!
