UITBAND
Every year, a new UITlied is written that every UITloper will recognize for the rest of their student days. This song was written especially for the UIT theme and will be played several times during the UIT in addition to the UITband’s own repertoire. So this is the time for emerging bands to reach a large audience!
Are you and your band looking for a new OUT challenge? The UIT is looking for musicians who can play the stars from heaven. There are multiple opportunities for you to share your musical talent with a great group of up-and-coming students.
The UITband writes the official UIT song (click here for the 2017, 2020, 2022 and 2023 songs). In addition, you will get multiple bookings during and prior to the UIT such as, for example, at the opening party, closing party, festival and summer party. Furthermore, we offer a reach of about 4,500 UITlopers, crew and mentors! Your song will also be played throughout the week at the association fair, for example. So this is the time for emerging bands to reach a large audience!
What do you get in return?
- For a week, you will be at the center of the UIT several times. Over 4,500 students will be exposed to your songs and performances! This of course creates enormous name recognition within Utrecht student life.
- An allowance for the entire week.
- VIP bands that allow you as a band access to all parties and activities.
Procedure
Each band submits a few songs from their repertoire to an expert panel of judges. The best bands get to participate in the official UITband & UITDJ contest. This contest will take place in May.
The UITband will eventually write the UIT song in consultation with the UIT board.
