Battle of the Bands 07

About Me

For our Sr. Project Hannah and I are putting on a Battle of the Bands, friday March 2nd in the Astoria High School auditorium @ 6 . All proceeds go to the "River Jordan Most, Keep the Music Alive, Memorial Scholarship fund".

Prizes for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place bands will include a trophy and some cash.

~Rules~
Each band gets 20 to 23 minutes (That includes set up and stuff). Which means 2 or 3 songs depending on how long the songs are each. There will be a couple people to help the bands set up.

Please refrain as much as possible from explicit lyrics (This is what the school says, even though I don't care). Remember this is a SR. Project. Thanks!

~Jordan G.- Member of NW Punks and Mentor of this project.
~Scott C.- Band teacher for AHS and AMS. He also was the original drummer for Everclear.

Judging Criteria
~Stage Presence- How much energy the band dispalys, ability to get a reaction from the crowd and how the band acts during songs.
~Ability to play instruments- It will be very obvious if a band does not know how to play their instruments well. However, enen if they arnt the bast at playing them, it doesn't me their music will be bad.
~Songs- Songs should be a good length, not too short or not to long, and demonstrate some sort of talented riffs or fills by instruments. (solos, ECT.)
~Crowds reaction to the band- The kind of band that should win the battle will be able to get people moving, cheering, moshing and/or dancing.
~Gimmicks- Such as costumes, props, ECT, should be regarded but should not determine who will win the battle.
~Attitude- Bands should be brazen, not afraid to talk to the crowd...they should definitely show attitude BETWEEN songs.
