Congrats to winner Badger Koon (yes, Mackie verified his name). His house was subject to a devastating mudslide and . . . . .  My name is Badger Koon and My Mackie SRM450 Active Speakers are amazing! They were totally covered in nasty horse poop and mud during a mudslide!!! I dug them out, washed them out with a hose, and let them dry. To this day they sound good as new. And they are loud! My Mackie speakers sound great for all the events I produce. Thank you Mackie for a great product.

Badger is a true Mackoid and his SRM450s weren’t so bad either.  But Badger now has a reason to REALLY be excited, as he is about to receive a pair of Mackie’s all-new HD1531 3-Way High Definition Powered Loudspeakers. Each one pushes 1800W of power. If he had these after the mudslide, clean-up would’ve been easy. He could crank them up and watch a cubic ton of dirt effortlessly evacuate his house. Badger also wins a 1604-VLZ3 Compact Mixer. The prize is valued at four grand!

Here is Badger's entry as well as a few Mackie videos you might enjoy.  (We particularly like #2 - an absolutely filthy VLZ mixer being successfully cleaned by running it through a kitchen dishwasher - and #4 - the mixer abuse shoot-out.)

Well the summer solstice has come and gone and we're now officially in summer.  We knew it must be here, because sales are hot at Avalon Music with some terrific deals - and our Anniversary Celebration 10% discount (for just posting to this website) is taken off AFTER those killer prices!  Wooohooo!

Summer also means there is a tremendous selection of live music performances throughout North Central Washington.  Here in Wenatchee check out the concerts every Friday night at Centennial Park and the Thursday night concerts at Ohme Gardens.  As we approach 4th of July weekend . . . Freedom Fest will be in Leavenwortk both Saturday and Sunday with music, food and fun . . . there will be music at Walla Walla Point Park on July 4 . . .  are several other events in North Central Washington.  Check out our Community Calendar to learn what's happening in the music arts.  If you have an event you want included on our calendar, just let us know.

The building project just keeps getting closer and closer to being done.  We have a roof!  The HVAC, rough electrical and plumbing is almost done, and the interior framing is complete.  By the end of next week we should have drywall being put up.  Here are some photos.

Check out our collection of product videos and demonstrations at Demos & Videos.  We'll be adding more.  If there are any you would like us to add - just let us know!
