Organizers are looking for participants to compete for the grand prize of recording time, and a $200.00 cash award. Board members of the festival, which runs May 15 through 17, in downtown Fremont, say they had great response after the inaugural Battle of the Bands last year. According to Arts & Music committee member, Charlie Schwochow, the society is trying to build on it's success. "It went great last year, and we had some great talent," says Schwochow. "We want it to be bigger and better this year." Schwochow added the event is a chance for aspiring and novice singers, songwriters, and musicians to get on a stage, share their talents and perform in a public setting in front of an audience. The contest begins at 1:00 P.M., and is open to any solo artist, duo act, as well as bands and musical groups. Each entry will have the ability to perform up to three songs each, in front of a three judge panel. Entrants must perform the music live, with no recorded tracks. There is a $35.00 per act entry fee to enter the contest. Top prize includes recording time, provided by The Strand Theater and Recording Studio, as well as the cash award. Second prize is $100.00, cash. The audience will also have the opportunity to get involved in the competition, and voice their opinion by voting in the "Peoples' Choice" catagory. According to Schwochow, the public can vote for their favorite act by placing money in their favorite acts respective container. Each dollar contributed will count as one vote. At the end of the judging, the "Peoples' Choice" award will be presented to the acts garnering the most votes. Schwochow says people can vote as much or as many times as they choose throughout the event. Last year's winner, "The Drop" will also make an appearance to perform while the judges tally their final scores. Deadline for Battle of the Bands entries is May 10.
