RockStock Company Announces New Fundraising Initiative
September 17th, 2007 (Springfield, IL)- RockStock Company is proud to announce a new fundraising initiative that is in effect immediately for its fall concert series. Organizations such as schools and youth groups now have a new option when they need to raise money to support their programs. Instead of selling candy bars and magazines, participants can now sell RockStock concert tickets. The tickets, sold at face value, will be sold via order forms that keep participants from being liable for lost tickets. The organizations can choose whether to deliver the tickets themselves, or leave the orders at will call for the patrons. Organizations participating in the RockStock fundraising program will keep a portion of each ticket sale, resulting in an effective fundraiser that doesn’t require inventory management like candy bar sales and doesn’t require substantial forms like magazine sales might. Organizations can inquire about RockStock fundraising via email at rockstockcompany@gmail.com or phone at 217-414-4575. This new program is available for both the November 8th Jeremy Camp show in Bloomington, IL and the Switchfoot-Relient K show November 9th in Springfield, IL.
RockStock Company Continues Staff Expansion
(Springfield, IL) September 14, 2007: Following a busy month of creating new positions and refilling old positions, RockStock Company now boasts a staff larger than ever before, featuring eleven employees committed to bringing fans the best of Christian music.
RockStock Company's realignment has resulted in the following promotions: Timothy Gerst, who joined RockStock in May, is now the Director of Public Relations; Aaron Clayton, who had a brief stint with RockStock Company in 2006, is now the Graphic Design Consultant; Chaz Waterman also rejoined the company as RockStock's in-house Production Manager; Tyler Smith, who joined the company in early 2007, is now the Volunteer Coordinator; and Ashley Rude, an original member, is now the Hospitality Coordinator. New hires include Paul Reveere as Street Team Coordinator, as well as Alex Stout and Landan Callahan as Sales Representatives. Remaining in their current positions are co-founders Tyler Sickmeyer (CEO) and Dane Stroemer (COO).
Sickmeyer believes that this staff, while extremely diverse, will be the most efficient staff he has directed since RockStock's establishment in January of 2005.
Rockstock Company Announces Incredible Fall Lineup
(Springfield, IL) August 29, 2007: The concerts just keep on coming for the fans of RockStock Company. Following a busy summer that saw over fifty bands play at stops in Indiana, Illinois, Cornerstone, and the Illinois State Fair, RockStock Company is pleased to announce its fall 2007 lineup. Up first is a road trip to Orange County for the RockStock Stage at Cornerstone California on September 28th and 29th. This is RockStock Company's debut on the west coast, and CEO Tyler Sickmeyer couldn't be happier. "I'm stoked to continue our relationship with Cornerstone Festival and to expand our operations into California at such an early stage in RockStock's growth," he said.
Illinois concert fans get their fill in November when Jeremy Camp plays an "unplugged" set at Eastview Christian Church in Bloomington, IL with special guest Mainstay on November 8th. The following night, Switchfoot and Relient K make their first of two appearances with RockStock Company. On November 9th, the two icons will play at the Prairie Capital Convention Center in Springfield, IL with another great night of rock two days later on Sunday November 11h at the Iwireless Center, formerly known as the Mark of the Quad Cities, in Moline, IL. Tooth and Nail recording artist Ruth will open both shows Tickets are on sale now at www.rockstockcompany.com and at select local ticket outlets.
Thousand Foot Krutch Update
(Springfield, IL) August 25, 2007: On August 19th Powerlight Festival's headlining act Thousand Foot Krutch was unable to make it to the free event at the Illinios State Fair. This was not the fault of either The Rockstock Company or Thousand Foot Krutch – their flight was repeatedly delayed and finally canceled just hours before they were scheduled to perform, leaving them stranded in Cleveland with no way of making it to either Springfield or back to their homes in Toronto.
Rockstock Company would like to apologize to all the fans who came out to see them, but were then disappointed. The good news, however, is that RockStock Company is working to reschedule a concert with Thousand Foot Krutch during the spring of 2008. More details will be released as they develop.
