The most important question musicians can ask themselves is "Am I doing something every single day to promote my band or telling someone about our show?" Venue owners depend on bands that can draw to keep their doors open. Bands need a place to play. In most situations, it's a good relationship that benefits both parties. You will get booked on better drawing shows or shows with out-of-state bands on it, if you can demonstrate that you have a fanbase.

This list of questions and answers is structured to be a "primer" for you to begin attracting new faces to your shows. It's not a surefire way and is based on my experience working with bands over the last 10 years. Handing out flyers, talking to people on the street and supporting other musicians in your scene are other great ways to meet new people and turn them on to your band.

5 - Is all of your information accurate on your myspace, facebook, purevolume or other networking pages?
(Whether you like those places or not is irrelevant. They are proven avenues for you to promote your band. You don't have to have a page setup with them, but it won't hurt you to do so.)

(if your answer is "No", you might consider creating one in a small quantity. You can take your design and post it online at numerous places to get the word out about your next show. It takes little time and requires you sitting in front of your computer for an hour or so)

1 - Do you create flyers & handbills for every show you play in your hometown?

When a musician here's the word "marketing" or "promotion", there's usually a frown or sign of dread on their faces. There are simple things you can do to promote your band that require little or no effort. Obviously, if you are willing to pound the pavement and go to other bands live shows, areas with lots of foot-traffic and local shopping areas/entertainment districts, you'll run into other people you know or some people you've seen at local shows. But, for a moment, let's say that you are a musician that has a busy day job and does not have the time to do lots of groundwork now.

Building A Fanbase For Your Band

(In some situations, the concert calendar will use live pictures of bands that are performing that week. If they do not have a picture of your band, you will probably be relegated to the one or two line blurb about your show. This is better than nothing. Lots of people read those concert listings over coffee and a bagel, so it's worth the time to make sure you are listed.)

(Set up an account and contribute to the discussions on the boards. Plug your next show in the "signature" of your screen name. Don't be obnoxious and post shamelessly all over the boards. You score points with your peers by bringing something of value (ie. practical knowledge) to whatever discussion they are talking about. Whether it's a favorite band thread or album of the year, or local topics. Post where appropriate and always be sure to update your signature with the most current gig)

Are you a new band just starting out and trying to get people to come out to your shows? Has your band been out for a few years and you are still having trouble getting people to care about your music? These are common situations that happen in every music scene in the country. Bands and musicians that get written about in the newspaper or talked about on the local radio show are those that are putting in the time to promote themselves.

3 - Are there message boards in your hometown you can visit? Is there a way to chat with people online about your show?

The secret to getting press for your band or attention from radio, magazines, newspapers is building your fanbase.

2 - Do you send out an email or press release to your local entertainment writers at the various newspapers or entertainment magazines in your hometown?

6 - Do you have an e-mail list of people you can send your next show info to?

Here's a basic list of questions you can ask yourself. The internet is a powerful tool and sending out e-mails is a simple way to get the ball rolling for your band.

(the next time you go out to your local entertainment district, pick up 1 copy of every newspaper and magazine that services your local area. Somewhere on the first 2 pages of the newspaper is a "masthead". That tells you every staff writer that works for that paper. Write down the mailing address of that publication and the Entertainment Writer or Editor. They usually have e-mail addresses or website listings there, as well. Visit their website and look in the staff section for contact information. Add them to your "industry" e-mail folder.)

Child's Toddler Fur Monkey Halloween Costume (2-4)

With the performance of the late Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, the Joker terrorized, deceived, destroyed and captivated his way into the pantheon of the most memorable movie villains of all-time. His popularity is assured to make an impact during Halloween. With his evil clown makeup, facial scars of unknown origin and unique sartorial style, the character readily lends itself to becoming one of the most wanted Halloween costumes ever.

In creating the perfect Dark Knight Joker costume for yourself, you need to decide upfront how much detail you want in your costume. Most all pre-packaged costumes will include a mask, a purple jacket and a shirt/vest/tie combination. Some packages will have pants as well. Vinyl masks come with molded hair. Latex masks include synthetic hair and look more realistic.

The basic costume packages have a printed shirt that creates the illusion of wearing a shirt, vest and tie. (You may have seen a similar effect with "tuxedo" shirts.) An improved version includes what looks like a real shirt, vest and tie. However, they are attached together into one chest piece and are not whole articles of clothing. The Grand Heritage Collection Joker costume includes everything whole and intact - a mask with hair, additional makeup, a purple jacket, a green vest, a hexagon-patterned shirt, purple pin-stripped pants and a tie. For the money, it cannot be beat.

You could try to find individual articles of clothing that resemble the ensemble of Batman's nemesis at various clothing stores and vintage clothing shops. This could take quite a bit of time though and you wouldn't necessarily save much money versus going with the Grand Heritage Collection Joker costume.

Another costume strategy would give you a more unique look and could surprisingly scare your friends and family. Isn't that part of the fun of Halloween? Go ahead and purchase either a latex mask with synthetic hair or a full Joker makeup kit with wig. Then, purchase a regular police uniform costume or nurse costume and wear it with your mask or made-up face with wig.

In different parts of the movie, The Dark Knight, the Joker dresses as a policeman and a nurse to execute his nefarious schemes. Not many people will imagine being one of these "minor" characters from the movie on Halloween. So, you'll probably be the only one. And, you'll get more "I like your costume" comments than if you wore a typical purple-and-green outfit.

For some fun with your police or nurse Joker costume, you'll want to have your hair or wig covered by the police officer's hat or surgeon's cap. Hide your face a bit by turning your back to a person you want to scare. Have an accomplice friend or family member bring the unsuspecting victim to meet you. When they tap you on the shoulder, quickly swing around with a crazed look and laugh sinisterly. You should produce some fright for Halloween. Cheers!

Child's Yoda Halloween Costume (Size: 6-12M)

With all of the excitement of the holiday season and the new traditions that have made their way into modern culture, it can be difficult to remember the origin of these holidays and the importance of the original traditions. All too often, Halloween is associated with costumes and candy but, in its early days, the significance of Halloween held great importance throughout Scotland, Ireland and Britain. Sadly, over time, these traditions have been forgotten.

Halloween actually started out as Samhain, a ceremony celebrated among Celts and their ancestors. It also marked the end of the winter solstice as well as a prosperous harvest. According to the tradition, this was the one night a year when spirits were free to walk the earth. Origin suggests that the Celtic families would hide in their homes in fear of these spirits or coming into contact with them.

Many symbols that are used today, such as the jack-o-lantern, originated from this ceremony. The jack-o-lanterns originated from an Irish folktale, Stingy Jack, a greedy alcoholic who tricked the devil into climbing a tree and then trapped him by carving a simple cross into the trunk. The devil cursed Jack and he was forced to walk the earth for all eternity.

The ceremony of Samhain, was followed by All Hallows Eve, celebrated on November first. The souls would once again be banished and no longer free to roam the earth. Although many of the traditions have been lost over time, the origins of Halloween and the beliefs which were practiced at this time help modern celebrations with their own symbols.

The actual origins of Halloween and the meaning of symbols that characterized this day have been forgotten, even by historians. The true meaning of the celebration has been replaced somewhat by what Hollywood thinks it should mean. However, in modern Celtic Ireland, Samhain is still celebrated as the serious holiday it is and as a time to pray for relatives' safe entry into heaven.

The real origins of Halloween are extremely interesting and can show a reflection on today's society and how Halloween is celebrated in the modern world. Just as all holidays have their stories, traditions and origins; Halloween has sacred meanings and traditions that affect those who celebrate it. It is important not to forget where it has come from and its meaning.

Customer Review: Great Product. Great Vendor.
I bought this dress for our granddaughter. It is so far superior to the dresses I saw in stores I cannot begin to describe the differences. It's a lovely dress. The seller, Buy Costumes, is wonderful. Shipping is lightening fast and they are most helpful in solving problems. We found that the dress tends to run small and they were more than accommodating in helping us exchange for a larger size. Customer service is as important to me as a good product and in this purchase, I got both. And the best price on the internet. My thanks to Buy Costumes and my heartiest recommendation.
Customer Review: Child will feel like a Princess!
The purchase was for a 3 year old little girl - and she LOVES it. The dress is long enough to touch the floor (child is about 3 ft tall) and with all the tulle, it is quite full. She feels glamourous and like her favorite Princess Cinderella. Best addition to this dress was the purchase of the long white gloves - that completes the outfit.
