Connie Cooke, Battle of the Bands
Event Coordinator anticipates that 5-7 local teen bands will be competing for
the winner title and the opportunity to compete in the Regional Battle of the
Bands Qualifier (location, time and date to be determined).
The winner of the Regional
competition will then continue on to the State Final Battle of the Bands, to be
held at the Illinois State Fair in August 2013. In
addition, each band member will receive a Battle of the Bands T-Shirt, a goody
bag with items provided our event sponsors, and the 1st, 2nd
and 3rd place winners receive a cash prize.
All genres of music are typically
represented by the bands that enter to compete. Last year’s
winner was The Skelters, a funk-rock band, influenced by the Red Hot Chili
Peppers and Jimi Hendrix.
The 2013 Battle of the
Bands is judged by 3-5 volunteers with a music background or music
interest. In the past we have had representatives from a recording
studio, music stores and artists in the music industry. The bands are judged in
5 categories on a scale of 1-10. Each band performs for approximately 30
minutes.
1. Stage Presentation
2. Stage Management
3. Sound
Quality/Clarity/Musicianship
4. Song Quality and
Originality
5. Audience Response
Our sponsors have gone out of their
way to make this the best battle ever, with giveaways for spectators and great
prizes for the bands. Thank you to our 2013 Battle of the Bands Sponsors
who are helping to make this an event to remember: Buffalo Wild Wings, The
Player’s Bench, Jamba Juice, Chick-fil-A, Northwest Herald, Pro Tuff Decals and
RFP Photography.
