The Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business Showcase Series is a student production run by Belmont University students. The students assist in all aspects of the showcase, from lighting and sound to stage design to the acts performing. As a result, students receive hands-on experience in concert production. The series of concerts represents a wide variety of genres including Christian, Urban/Pop, Country, Rock, and everything in between. There is also a final showcase featuring the Best of the Best.
Belmont student and Country Showcase producer, Erik Parker commented, "From personally being involved in almost every department of the showcase series, I can say that Bandit Lites provides more than just lights. Bandit lighting designer, Chris Lisle has taught several courses in the Curb College, helping educate and motivate interested students. From there, everyone from Bandit's management to lighting technicians who are helping with the show, teach student designers how to budget a rig in addition to various other logistical aspects."
