The entire group that I was with really enjoyed the event last year and we drove 5-hours to attend it. I was just told that the band" Deeper Still" from the central New York area was recently cut or bumped from the list of bands scheduled to perform. Can you tell us why that is. Even the band does not know why they where removed from the schedule even after being informed for several months that they where on the schedule to perform again for this years event. Very Dissapointed!
