Our Mission is not only to provide a quality, non-political performing experience, but to unite the community in a day of performing arts celebration!

Musicians must bring their own amps and any other audio gear needed other than wireless microphones.
Remember that Fusion is a family friendly event, so all talents, music, lyrics, and costuming should be appropriate for all audiences.
