Carrollton Hosts Battle of the Bands in Downtown

CarrolltonLogoCalling all bands to compete in Downtown Carrollton on Saturday, April 30 for the chance to perform at the City’s 7th Annual Festival at the Switchyard.

The competition will begin at 5 p.m. in the Downtown Square (1106 S. Broadway Street) and bands will perform in the gazebo structure. There is no fee to sign up and the event is rain or shine.

All bands will perform three songs no longer than six minutes each. Time slots will be assigned randomly. The performance must be suitable for a family audience. Band names, lyrics, appearance, and performances must be free from obscenities and references to drugs, sex, or alcohol.

There are cash prizes for the top three acts. Performances will be evaluated by a panel of judges using a point scoring system. Battle of the Bands has a competitive element, but ultimately celebrates the community that is built when young people come together to express themselves.

For a complete list of rules, judging criteria, and to fill out an application packet, visit cityofcarrollton.com/battleofthebands. Bands will be notified of their acceptance and designated time slots prior to event day.

The Grand Prize winner will have the opportunity to perform as one of the opening acts at Carrollton’s 7th Annual Festival at the Switchyard on November 5. The Festival is a day-long, free event with family entertainment, rides, games, children’s activities, food and craft vendors, and all-day concerts in celebration of Carrollton residents. Last year’s event drew nearly 27,000 people to Downtown Carrollton.
