The Second Screamin\u2019 Javelina Music Festival is on March 29, with a lineup of 16 local artists and bands ready to rock the stage.The festival is a work in progress and is something that is being formed as a possible staple on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLast year we had maybe around 200 people tops throughout the whole day. I\u2019m hoping to hit maybe around 1,200 at once, because I don\u2019t know exactly but I think the Waka Flocka concert had around 3,500 somewhere around that range. So, I think we\u2019ll probably hit around 3,500 for the whole day – that\u2019s the goal. I think every year we want to make it bigger; over the years we do want to make it to where it becomes a tradition here on campus, and I think it\u2019s small steps to where we want to be,\u201d President of Music Relations Ramiro Vera said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Screamin\u2019 Javelina is a way for local artists to bring their music to a broad audience for a night and help propel their music career by creating a fanbase through the platform given to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To some artists, especially on-campus talent, the meaning of their music is important to share with their peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo me, it gives me a chance to showcase these songs to these students on campus. These songs have a deep meaning and are meant to tell a story. Being a student on campus inspired a lot of these songs, and I hope that people can relate to these stories,\u201d artist and student Ethan Edghill said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year Screamin\u2019 Javelina has been taken over by students, giving students experience in putting on their own music festival for their peers to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, speaking of Ramiro, he was our director of music this year so he is the person who created our artist application. He vetted all of the artists that applied to perform at the festival,\u201d Campus Activities Coordinator Kelsey Dahlbeck said. \u201cHe ran trainings for them and he with the other e-board members put together the final lineup. We have a director of volunteers who\u2019s gone out and recruited all of the volunteers that are going to be helping us festival day and she\u2019s in charge of training them. We have a director of festival experience who is putting together like all of our art displays that we\u2019re going to have there. She\u2019s coordinated activities for the day of and then of course we have our director of marketing Vincent Ochoa and he has been working on all of the like marketing and advertisements that we\u2019ve been doing for the festival. So really Katelyn Garza and I, the two staff advisers who work with this festival, we\u2019ve handled some of the logistics stuff but students really have taken the lead and turned this festival kind of into their own event,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Screamin Javelina is from 2 to 10 p.m., March 29, at the Javelina Stadium practice field. Entry is free for students with a valid student ID, and $5 for kids and $10 for adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
