1. INTRODUCTION

Park Rock Festival 2006 will be held on 2 & 3 Sept at the Chancellors Run Regional Park, St. Marys County MD.
The first Park Rock Fest was held in 2000 and in 2004 at the same location. The goal of the event is to bring
together the band members of Power Jam Music Alliance and the counties of St. Marys, Calvert and Charles to
share in an end of summer rock concert. The Power Jam Music Alliance is a group of rock bands that share their
music talent to better the community welfare. The plan is for four stages with 12 band performing concurrently
throughout the two days. Surrounding the stages will be three areas to have other groups and business of counties
share and participate in the event. There is a Food Court for vendors to satisfy the hunger and thirst of the attendees.
There is a Market Place where vendors may sell their merchandise to shoppers in the attendees. There is a
Community Area for civic, social, and religious organizations to share their group goals, ideas and services with the
attendees.

Consistent with PJMA events, this will be a drug free, alcohol free, and obscenity free event that can be attended by
all ages. This plan will address the planning, roles, responsibilities, security and safety so that all will have a great
time.

The PRF 2006 is sponsored by the St. Marys County Recreation, Parks and Community Services (RP&CS) and the
St. Marys County Commissioners. The PR&CS are part of the committee coordinating the use of the Chancellors
Run Regional Park and the overall fest event

2. GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1. Concept
Park Rock Fest 2006 marks the fourth time to hold the event. The first Park Rock Fest was held in 2000, and the
second in 2004 and third in 2005, all were held at Chancellors Run Regional Park on the weekend before Labor Day.
The 2005 event was a huge success. There was over 1000 participants, and significant community participation. For
2006, there will over 12 months of planning culminating in the event. The PRF 2006 will be organized and
produced by the Power Jam Music Alliance. The mission of the PJMA is consistent with the goal of the first fest,
which is to provide an opportunity for rock musicians to share their talent with the community and benefit the
community welfare. This years event will feature 4 stages with 14 bands performing on each stage for two days.
The goal for 2006 is to include a wide range of music styles from the origins of rock in the fifties to all styles of
music available today that has a rock influence. In addition, to the music stages there will be 3 other venues: Food
Court, Community Center and Market Place. Similar to the first event, it will be held on the weekend before Labor
Day. The 2004 event had such good response that in 2005 the event was expanded to two days: Saturday and
Sunday, and in 2006 we are adding a fourth stage. The gate will open at 9 AM with the first Band performance
starting at 10 AM. The bands set time is either 30 or 45 minutes with a 15 minute break for exchange of bands. The
14 slots result in the last performance ending at either 9:45 PM or 10:00 PM or 10:15 PM. The staggering of the
stages is being done gradually start and end the event, always have music on a stage and have a sequential closing of
the event.

The rest of this plan will detail the involvement of the PJMA volunteers, community participation and formalize the
process to minimize surprise and maximize understanding between all.
2.2. Site Layout
The event will be centered around the P&R brick building on the north end of the Chancellors Run Regional Park
and extend to the Hall of Fame in the center of t
