🎸 The Indianapolis Random Band Challenge is BACK! 🎲
πŸ“… August 17 – Sign-ups open! (Stay tuned for more details!)
The drawing happens Friday, September 5th at Square Cat Vinyl β€” that’s when musicians will be randomly grouped into bands!
From there, each band has about 2 months to write and rehearse 3 original songs (or 15 minutes of material), including one that creatively incorporates an assigned unique noun for song material!
They’ll hit the stage on Friday, November 7th to compete live β€” so save the date for the big show!
🧠 Bands will be judged on:
⭐ Stage Presence
⭐ Originality
⭐ Song Quality
⭐ Execution of the β€œNoun Song”
⭐ Band Name
🎟️ Audience votes help decide the winner too β€” so bring your crew!
πŸ† Prizes for the winning band will be announced soon. Stay tuned for details how to submit to enter the challenge!
Don’t forget!
πŸ“… August 17 – Sign-ups open!
πŸ“… September 5 – Drawing Day @ Square Cat Vinyl
πŸ“… November 7 – Showtime!
