Regatta Square Battle of the Bands
August 8 & 9, 2008
Hello Bands!
Below I’ve outlined my plan for the Regatta Square Battle of the Bands.
*6 – 7 bands, 40-minute sets from 2:00pm until 7 or 8pm. Quick Release will be the house band on Friday 8pm-10pm and Saturday 8 or 9pm-11pm.
*Video-tape the 2nd song for each band – make sure it’s your best one! For this song only, it must be an original song. The recordings will be put up on AstoriaRocks.com, along with a poll.
*Online Voting from Sunday, August 10 thru Friday, August 15 at 5pm. There will also be ballots at the square. I will ask AstoriaRocks.com to allow only one vote per computer, to lessen the possibility of someone stuffing the ballot box.
*All bands will receive a participators plaque
*Winning band gets $500 – Will contact winner and arrange a time for presentation of check. Photo will be submitted to the Daily A for a story. Regatta and AstoriaRocks.com representatives will be included in the photo.
*Link www.astoriaregatta.org and www.astoriarocks.com online, with promotion on both sites.
*We will be using a sound system, amps, speakers & mic’s from North Coast Records, and a sound-tech will be available.
We believe this will not only provide great exposure for our local bands, but will help to promote www.AstoriaRocks.com to the general public who may not be aware of it if they don’t subscribe to the paper.
Please let me know at your earliest convenience if you can participate. Joni Marcks 503-325-3335

Thank you for posting this Patrick - the only thing that has changed since this post, is that Quick Release will no longer be my house band, but I'm negotiating with another of the confirmed bands to take care of that.
Contiued good luck on this Joni.
I could really use that $500....think I'll get the band back together
Well, there you go.
There's $500.00 on the table and somebody's going to get it.
Mount up that band and go after it.
