MARSHALL AMPLIFICATION SPONSORS ALPHA MUSIC’S SCREAMIN’ “WIZARDS OF OZ” GUITAR COMPETITION
MELVILLE, NY, February 12, 2009 — Alpha Music’s Virginia Beach location recently hosted the latest installment of their ongoing guitar competition series, designed to encourage young musicians. This event featured a “Wizards of Oz” theme based around the cohorts of Ozzy Osbourne throughout the years. Fittingly, Marshall Amplification was a sponsor of the event.
The competition was held in Alpha Music’s performance hall, and the contestant pool consisted of 16 guitarists under age 18, who had previously submitted a recording of themselves playing one of five pre-selected Ozzy songs. During the competition, each contestant shredded away onstage along with a full band to the song of his choice, playing through – of course – a raging Marshall full stack.
Each contestant received a Marshall t-shirt and bumper stickers, and the grand prize winner went home with a Marshall half stack and accessories.
