Alright, moving on to the first official day of the festival, Friday. I’m going to split the day up into Noon to 6pm and 6pm to Late, just to make it a little easier to sort through these. Again, these are in order by stage time. For those that don’t know, Moonlight Main Stage is the large stage that moe. plays on every night, Sunshine Stage is a medium size stage with the open field and camping nearby, and Camping Stage is a smaller stage in the wooded area off of the path on which you enter the festival. On to the tunes!
Again, this guide is probably most useful while looking at the Jambase Summer Camp Schedule: http://www.jambase.com/festivals/summercamp/
