The Great WRR-FM/Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Air Conducting Extravanganza!

WIN A FREE TRIP FOR TWO TO VIENNA AND SALZBURG, AUSTRIA (Mozart’s Birthplace)!

Official Rules

Maybe you’ve heard of playing air guitar… But have you ever found yourself AIR CONDUCTING a great piece of classical music? If so, you’re on your way to participating in an exciting contest. If not, grab a stick and get your inner maestro on.  If you think you’ve got some mad skills in the conducting department, you could win a trip to Vienna and Salzburg, Austria and have a great time participating!

Here’s how it works:

PRELIMINARY ROUND

Record a video of yourself air conducting your favorite piece of classical music.  You may ask yourself, is it all about technical skills?  Well…yes and no. We’ll take it into account in the selection process, but this is also about enthusiasm, passion, and showmanship. Whether you conduct in a t-shirt, tux, tutu or powdered wig is up to you, but you don’t necessarily need to be a music major or virtuoso. Theatricality, drama and comedy count most.  The more outlandish and memorable your performance, the better your chances.

Entries must be no longer than 3 minutes. Upload it to YouTube and send the link to [email protected] with “Air Conducting Entry” in the subject line.  There is no cost to enter.

Include in your email:

*Title and composer of piece
*Your name, phone number, and whatever else you’d like to include about yourself

Deadline for entries: Monday, January 15th, 2018 at midnight

Four finalists will be notified by phone on Tuesday afternoon, January 17th.

FINAL ROUND

The final round of the contest takes place on Mozart’s birthday: Saturday, January 27th, 2018 at 6:15 p.m. at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, 100 South Central Expy. #14, Richardson, TX 75080

The music for the final round will be recorded, NOT live. We will select the piece you will conduct (it’ll be by Mozart, of course) and provide you with the official recording.

You will be projected on to the movie screen during your performance.

Admission price (not for you, but for others attending): $12

A panel of five judges will choose the winner, but there will also be a prize for the audience favorite.

A trip for two to Austria, including round-trip airfare from DFW, lodging in Vienna and Salzburg, round trip train travel from Vienna to Salzburg and $500 in Visa travel cards.
