Call to enter the search for Jozi's greatest Airband

If you have the swagger and charisma of a rock star - even though you can't sing or play an instrument, you can start a band and enter the Gold Reef City and 94.7 Highveld Stereo search for the country's best Airband. Entries close on the 21 August 2011.

Even if you can't carry a tune and you're inexperienced when it comes to instruments, you can take part. Simply choose your favourite rock or pop song and mimic the vocals and instruments that accompany the track along with your band mates. Your band could win R80 000 if it is chosen as the best in Jozi.

All you have to do is send through a video of your performance to www.highveld.co.za or visit The Globe Theatre at Gold Reef City Casino on 13, 14, 20 and 21 August to show us what you've got.

Giving it all you've got

"We want our listeners to let loose and have fun," said 94.7 Highveld Stereo station manager, Ravi Naidoo. "There's definitely some skill involved, but it's about getting involved and giving it all you've got."

Added Steve Hight, GM of Gold Reef City Casino: "We're looking forward to seeing some 'Pure Jozi' energy from 94.7 Highveld Stereo listeners as they strut their stuff live on stage. This will be unforgettable entertainment for everyone who watches or participates."

All bands who do their recording at The Globe Theatre will automatically be entered into a lucky draw and one band will walk away with R5000 on the above-mentioned dates as we run-up to the final event.

When the entries close on the 21 August, the top-10 performances will be selected and these bands will display their talent at The Lyric Theatre at Gold Reef City Casino on 27 August. These finalists will also perform at the Gold Reef City Theme Park on Sunday, 28 August to entertain the public who missed the final event.

Public vote

The top-10 performances will also be featured on www.highveld.co.za and the public will be able to vote for their favourite band. The band that receives the most votes will be named Jozi's top Airband on Breakfast Xpress and they will win R80 000.

Tickets to The Top 10 final performance will be available to the public from Computicket or at The Lyric Theatre Box Office on +27 (0)11 248 5000 for R75.
