I'm a little biased, so I'll let others chime in on their experience. If you want to reach out to specific folks you know, the list of callers is available on the website.
You'll also find details on what we're looking for, but in summary we want callers (and bands) ready to call for festivals but haven't broken on to the scene yet.
If you or anyone you know fits the bill, I suggest giving Catapult a shot. (Again, I'm a little biased.)
In terms of travel, it's held in Atlanta but it's a national festival drawing callers, musicians, dancers and organizers from across the country. (37 states and New Zealand so far.) Each caller or musician selected gets a travel allowance that will get them to Atlanta and back.
Hope that answers some of your questions.
Happy holidays all!

Please spread the word to your caller, musician, dancer and organizer
friends. Thanks.

How many of you out there have participated in this? What did you think of it? I'm curious, but not sure whether I'm what they're looking for, or vice versa. And it's a long way to travel for a short gig.Kalia_______________________________________________Callers mailing listCallers@lists.sharedweight.nethttp://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net
