We will produce a 90-120 minute program with your contributions interspersed with interviews and informational sessions with Dr. MarkAlain Dery, founder of WHIV and New Orleans Infectious Disease Specialist with over 21 years of experience in the field. Dr. Dery, who is also working with New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell on promoting his MASK UP! COVID DOWN! initiative, has been a leader in the charge for local testing and awareness since the beginning of the outbreak.

Again, artists/bands are encouraged to submit 2-3 songs in one continuous video or divided by song.

We invite you all to join us! It should be fun!! We will rebroadcast the program several times throughout the weekend, and will later be posted to YouTube for future viewing, and will be promoted among media partners far and wide.
