Drawing at registration will determine line-up of bands for play schedule

A maximum of 10 bands total will be allowed into the contest.

Total playtime allowed per band: 15 minutes  (Points deducted from bands for longer play time.)

Be advised that alcohol, drugs, vulgarity of any kind, profane language or promoting violence or crowd danger will be immediate cause for shut down and dismissal of judging and could result in criminal arrest.

This year prizes will be a cash award. First place will receive $500, second place will receive $300, and third place will receive $200.

First place winners will be asked to play an additional 15-minute encore set.  All bands should be prepared with sufficient material.

In the event the crowd becomes unruly or physically irresponsible, or dangerous to themselves or others, bands should stop immediately, and no points or time will be lost.  Note- Judges will award bonus points for help in crowd control.

Power supply is limited, maximum per band two (2) 20 amp lines.  Band is responsible for understanding and using power properly.  Improper use resulting in power loss will be a deduction from performance time, however inadvertent loss of power not caused by band will not take time from band.
