Our annual fundraiser and semi-formal gala, the Swanktacular, has been an annual staple of BROS' schedule since 2014.
Every spring we don our fanciest duds, scarf delicious grub from local businesses, quaff numerous libations, and rock into the night with our members, supporters, and friends.
Every year features a theme, musical performances, as well as live entertainment. Truly, it is the swankiest night of the year, and one of the best parties in Baltimore.

Our fall production format, the Concert Opera, features a live band as the center of the production, creating a live show with a single stage set, around 45-60 minutes, to create an experience in between a rock show and a theatrical performance.
2024’s Ceremony of the Faceless paired the band Blightbeast with a narrative satanic ritual dance performance. Last year’s Garbage Quest presented an interactive video game inspired adventure scored by Garbage Masher, an 8-bit rock duo. For next year’s fall show, we need YOU.
For the 2027 Fall Concert Opera, we’re putting out a call for an epic musical collaborator. We are looking for existing Baltimore bands with either existing material, or material that will be recorded by June of 2027.
We encourage all genres and types of musical acts to apply. We treat “rock” as more of a state of mind around here.
In more than one band? The more the merrier! Please submit a separate form per band.
