Hedwig Cover Band

You may or may not have heard of the Broadway musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch, it's 2001 movie version, or the current [thrilling] revival featuring the one and only magical (and glittery queen), Neil Patrick Harris. My friend and I certainly have, and we've gotten quite inspired by it. Our goal is to create a Hedwig cover band that will perform at concert venues throughout the area and providing them with an unforgettable experience.  Despite our dream, we are lowly, impoverished Aggie students barely scraping by to put roofs over our heads and fruits in our blender.

The main funds that we need would be to cover the cost of costumes, makeup (and glitter), tech (mic stands, microphones, amps, lights), venue fees, and gas money for my Ford Ranger that is currently averaging 12 mpg. If ya'll are feeling extremely generous, one of our biggest goals and dreams is to actually venture to New York City and see the live performance of Hedwig on Broadway. This would be a great help to the show and give us an insight on the true personality of Hedwig, seeing as the show is very interactive with the audience.  We really want to make this as accurate and entertaining as possible with our own personal twist, of course. Seeing this show would also greatly help with the choreography because right now our resources of crazy yet elegant dance moves and stage design are limited to what we can find on Youtube from smaller performances and in the movie. Plus, two Hedwig fanatics like us could only ever dream of making it all the way to New York and seeing the production live and in person with who is probably the best Hedwig of all time. 

The main reason we are asking for funds is because one of our members had an unfortunate interaction with fraudulent persons putting her finances behind by at least 2,000 USD. She is currently going through a tough time trying to find the money to pay rent on her apartment, paying rent on her new house, and trying to find a new subleaser that will not rip her off. 

But just as a reminder, the main funds are going to towards musical equipment and staging props, NOT the New York trip. Instruments and stage design equipment is a bit out of our poor-college-student price range and any and all donations are greatly appreciated! 

If you can't donate yourself, spreading the word and letting people know about our cause would be great! Come on fellow wig-heads! Unite! I know you're out there. Help us, please?
