Beatles Rock Band
A GIANT free Beatles “Rock Band” competition, underwritten by Bourn Partners and presented by Cinema La Placita outdoor film series and Ultimate Electronics will bring alive the vacant lot on Congress street between Scott and Stone Avenues. The game will be projected onto an 11’ x 12’ screen. Beatles Rock Band is a video game which allows players to “play along” to Beatles music using instrument-shaped game controls. The players press buttons, strum, bang and sing in time to indicators on the screen. As players operate the controls in time with the music, their score raises. The competition will begin around 7:00, when the sun sets and it is dark enough to see the game projected on the screen. There will be prizes, as yet to be determined.
