To register:

Battle of the Bands entry form
(download and mail in check) or Battle of the Bands online registration (pay with credit card)


Bands will be judged by a panel of four judges on the seven categories listed below:


* Musicianship - How well do you play your instruments, sing?

* Visual Presentation - Stage Presence, clothes, costuming, actions on stage, props, etc.

* Originality - What makes your band different, unique?

* Audience Response - How well does the audience like you?

* Song Writing / Performance - How well are your songs written or performed, musically and lyrically?

* Professionalism - Set up and break down time, acknowledgements, introductions, etc.

* Overall Entertainment Value - How entertaining was your band?  Did you hold the interest of the audience?

There are no "Rounds" or "Finals."  Each band will play only one 15 minute set in the Hebron Music & Arts Festival Battle Of The Bands Contest.  Therefore, it is in the best interest of all bands to play to the best of their ability.  Bands can play original music or cover tunes.  Your band will be scored with points on a scale of 1 to 10 with ten being the highest in each of the categories by a panel of four judges.  For example, if a band scores all 10's in every category, by all four judges, the maximum score a band could receive is 280 points.
