Question: Imagine you are a music producer tasked with creating a new music festival that showcases a diverse range of genres. Design a lineup for the festival that includes at least four different music genres. For each genre, explain why you chose to include it in the lineup and how it adds variety and excitement to the overall event. Consider the atmosphere you want to create at the festival.
Guidelines (This information should appear on your poster):
1. Create a lineup featuring at least four different music genres such as pop, rock, hip-hop, jazz, electronic, etc.
2. Describe the type of artists or bands you would invite to represent each genre. Artist/band names must be school appropriate. You may pick one or more artists from each genre.
3. Explain how the combination of genres enhances the festival experience and attracts a wide range of music enthusiasts. Think about each genre's/artist's/band's appeal to the audience and its contribution to the festival's diversity. You can turn this into a pitch to get people's attention, for example: "This festival will feature artists/band's such as _____!"
