Creative Writing Contest!

Happy Spring everyone!!

Spring is our favourite season! We’re celebrating the longer, warmer days by having a contest! Yes, that’s right, A CONTEST! The Kerplunks are playing live at the University of Victoria’s Farquhar Auditorium on Saturday, April 14th at 2:00pm. You could win tickets for your whole family (up to 4 people) to the concert!

All you have to do is write a story in 500 words or less all about how music makes you happy! It could be an experience you had when you came to a Kerplunks concert or any other music concert, or just listening to music with your family or even playing music or singing with your friends. Get creative! Email your entry to info@thekerplunks.com. We will announce the winners on Friday, April 13.

If you already have tickets, don’t live in Victoria or can’t make it to the concert, you can still win a prize! Along with tickets to the Victoria concert, we’ll be giving away a special prize for the most imaginative entry. Deadline is noon on Friday, April 13th. We can’t wait to read your stories!

Lots of live shows in BC this spring and summer! Watch for our “Get Creative” DVD release concert announcements!

Enjoy the sunshine and flowers! Yours in fun and music,
Tina, Dinah, Aaron and Phil of The Kerplunks
