Battle of the Bands is looking a little different in 2020

Published on 28 August 2020

Macedon Ranges Shire Council’s Music in the Sticks (MITS) program is looking for young people to enter their online 2020 Battle of the Bands competition.  

Renamed ‘Battle of the Bandwidth’ to fit in with the online theme, young people aged 12-25 are encouraged to get involved and showcase their musical talent while in lockdown.  

Any young person living, working or attending school in the shire can apply. Bands, duos and solo artists from all genres are encouraged to get creative and upload two of their songs. 

All entries will be judged by a panel of local judges, with cash prizes up for grabs (first place taking $300, second prize $200 and third $100). 

So if you know of a talented young person who deserves to have their music showcased, encourage them to get practicing and enter this year’s Battle of the Bandwidth competition. 

Registrations are now open online and will close on Sunday 11 October 2020 at 11.59pm.

The MITS program has been running for over 20 years and the Battle of the Bands event has been a mainstay of the groups’ commitment to running youth friendly events in the shire each year. 

This year sees the committee meeting online each week to think of creative ways to keep young people engaged and connected in a time where the pandemic prevents residents from physically attending events. New members are always welcome. Contact Nat on 04 3964 2192 to find out more.
