Extravaganza is an annual free campus music festival held at the University of California, Santa Barbara that began in 1979 and has been held every year since 1989.〔(Extravaganza Goes Flipmode - Daily Nexus ) 〕 It takes place towards the end of spring quarter and is funded by a student lock-in fee. The event is planned, promoted, and run by the Associated Students Program Board. Extravaganza is held in Harder Stadium and draws thousands of students and out of town visitors every year. As of 2011, the festival is only open to UCSB students, staff, and faculty. The stage occupies the north end of the field while booths for student groups, sponsors, and activities line the sides.〔(Campus Map )〕 Attendees must comply with a mandatory pat down and bag search (carried out by Community Service Organization officers〔(UCSB Police Department ) 〕) before entering the stadium. == History == Extravaganza began as a small showcase for local bands and has since expanded to feature well-known acts. Extravaganza used to feature two stages, but this practice was ended in 2005 due to a decision to downsize the number of bands in favor of bigger-name acts. However, the first performer remains a local act, usually chosen through a Battle of the Bands.〔(Extravaganza To Host Fewer Bands, Bigger Headliners - Daily Nexus ) 〕 May 16, 2009 was Extravaganza's 29th anniversary.〔(Extravaganza Website )〕 The format of the festival was altered in order to mark this special occasion. Instead of being the usual day show (11 AM to dusk), X '09 transitioned from day to night, with gates opening at 3 PM and the headliner (Ludacris) concluding his set at approximately midnight. A large high definition screen was placed next to the stage in order to give the back of the crowd a better view of the acts. ASPB requested student-made short film submissions to be played between sets.〔(Facebook Event for Film Submissions )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Extravaganza (music festival)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
