FoCoMX is a volunteer-run festival and offers a variety of opportunities for individuals to get involved, including: door shifts at venues, promotions, event set-up and clean-up, assisting with stage production and management, helping with ticket sales and information, or even emceeing a stage. In addition to enjoying great music and connecting with the community, volunteers who contribute four hours of time or more will receive a free festival wristband. The signature event of the nonprofit Fort Collins Musicians Association (FoCoMA), FoCoMX has nearly doubled in size each year – garnering national attention and earning it the unofficial title of “The Biggest Little Festival in America.” “FoCoMX offers an opportunity for music lovers to celebrate and enjoy the amazing talent of our local artists,” says FoCoMA Co-Founder and President Greta Cornett. “FoCoMX delivers a fun festival experience to Northern Colorado with some of the same great bands featured at festivals like South by Southwest, but at a much more affordable price.” Pre-sale weekend wristbands for the 2012 festival are available online at www.FoCoMX.org for only $15 during the month of March. On April 1 the price will increase to $20, at which point wristbands will also be available for purchase at Rock ‘n’ Robins in Fort Collins.
