Liberty marketing students announce Musikfest artists

The Marketing Musikfest class at Liberty HS welcomes four acts to the Plaza Tropical Stage Aug. 13 from noon to 4 p.m.

The acts will include Sound Kodz at noon, The Mondays at 1 p.m., Dustin Douglas at 2 p.m., and Just Say When at 3 p.m.

Sound Kodz is a hip hop group out of Newark, Ohio, and Pittsburgh, that, to quote themselves, makes “elevating music.” The Mondays come from Long Island, N.Y., and play pop rock music.

Dustin Douglas will bring some blues and rock to the stage and hails from Wilkes Barre. Finally, the most local band, Just Say When, is a group of Bethlehem natives, whose members are students at Freedom HS.

Liberty’s Marketing Musikfest Class is a class of 17 students who research and arrange bands to perform on the Plaza Tropical Stage at Musikfest for their assigned date. Students also learn how to use marketing skills to publicize the event and gain an audience. Students looked through hundreds of bands in groups to come up with their top choices. Artsquest employees served as guest speakers throughout the semester to talk about their roles and experiences. Matthew Phillipes teaches the class.
