We want you to be a part of the 2010 Battle of the Bands! Continuing a long and epic tradition, the Maple Valley Youth Council will be hosting another Battle of the Bands this coming January. Expect large screaming audiences, and considerable prizes for the best three bands.  In previous years, we gave away cool loot and recording time to the top performing bands.

Each band will have twenty minutes of play time and your playlist must include at least one original song. Prizes will be awarded to the top three bands. If you want to perform, then just download the Battle of the Bands Application Packet (PDF 843 KB) and start filling it out.  Get it back to us by January 15th. Each individual band member must also complete and sign the performer contract. All proceeds from band registrations benefit Maple Valley Youth Council projects.

Tech Specifications: The Den uses a Mackie Onyx 24.4 mixer into EAW mains and subs. The Den will provide a sound engineer for the event. Any specific sound requests must be submitted to The Den at least seven (7) days prior to show date.
