Get a PowerCord for the September 10th Jam (Thursday, Week 9)

The concert is FREE and includes all access to everything except the Craft Table. You are welcome to volunteer to work backstage, perform on stage and enjoy the concert at no charge!

It's open to the public so you can invite your friends and family.

PowerCord Jam in the Park(ing lot) is a student concert with the focus on presenting the concern and learning those skills - not actually creating something for the audience. Student volunteers willset up, present, record and clean up a professionally managed opportunity that could eventually be used on resume and job interview opportunities.

On your wrist

If you want ALL ACCESS, you need to buy a PowerCord wrist band. Wearing it says that you support Independent Music. As a reward, you get access to the craft table with snacks and beverages. ALL money collected will be turned into munchies, snacks and drinks for wearer of the PowerCords. NO ONE, not even faculty, staff or those putting on the Jam will have access to the craft table without a PowerCord!

It's only three bucks($3) and is permanent jewelry - cannot be removed without cutting it and damaging it - that is waterproof and made of Diamond Braid polypropylene cord and pure copper.

The blue cord is so durable that you can swim or shower in it.

And the copper has legendary properties that date back to Ancient Rome and Greece." Copper is sacred to many of the love Goddesses. The ancient Romans called copper cyprium, as it was primarily mined in Cyprus, which also claims to be the birthplace of Aphrodite, Cypria being one of Her epithets. Later the name evolved to cuprum and this is where copper's symbol Cu originated.

Body: Many people believe that wearing a piece of copper jewelry on the affected part of the body will help rheumatism and arthritis. Any healing stone set in copper will have amplified affect.

Mind: Brings emotions into balance.

Around your neck

Magic: Healing work, fertility spells, prosperity spells, and spells to attract love.

Copper used in wands will help enhance and direct the energy that flows through the wands. You can enhance the energy of any magical stone by setting it in copper".(reference)

Warning: the copper is crimped with force (a pliers) and the ends of the cord are sealed with flame.

There is a limit of only 50 PowerCords for this Jam.. It's kind of a collector's item.

Copper easily transfers warmth and electricity, which makes it a powerful metal that directs energy, both electrical and physical. Esoterics believes it to be great for directing Magical energy to acts as an aide in the body’s healing process.(reference)

Also note that this is a AILV school event with all the usual rules and regulations.
