By and large, musicians are required to supply their own instruments. We select venues that have a sound system but we will provide more information about equipment provisions once the venue is identified. Also, in years past musicians have arranged to share some equipment at the Road to Memphis and we encourage this very much!
Performance order of play will be randomly selected. Top placement by the judges in each category (solo/duo and band) advances to the IBC.
