Marketing-speak aside, it is really a fun night.And to give credit where credit is due: This event is the brain child of Amy Fisher, who heads up marketing here at the 1105 Government Information Group.

It was different and it was fun, and I'm expecting the same this year.The bands performing this year:* The DISA-Peering Act (Verizon Business at DISA, Unisys at TSA, Canadian Army Special Ops for the JTF at DISA HQ, USMC for the JTF at DISA HQ) * The Groove (EMC Software, Formatta Corporation) * The Moogly Blues Band (VDOT, VITA) * Outta Scope (NIH, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, DOD/State Department, WTEC) * Tacocat (AT&T Government Solutions, Perot Systems Government Services, Skjei Telecom)People who attend that night get to vote on the best band.

Essentially, this is battle of the bands -- the government IT version.

From the release:

Government IT's second annual battle of the bands on Thursday, October 18, 2007 at the State Theatre in Falls Church, Virginia. GIT Rockin' showcases the alter egos and talents of professionals from across the government IT community, and is designed as a friendly competition to allow executives--from government and industry alike -- to network with peers, colleagues and spouses in a high-energy, out-of-the-industry-norm environment. Proceeds from all ticket and band voting sales will be donated to the United Services Organization of Metropolitan Washington (USO-Metro).
