Don’t miss out on the chance to win free products for your high school band!
Videos must be submitted in by 11:59 pm est 10/27/2012 to either contest@blockbandmusic.com or blockbandmusic@gmail.com.
So, use this weekend’s games or competitions to record your band at its best.
But remember, your band does not have to be on the field for you to win!
You can also record your band right there in the stands or the bandroom.
Addressing a Concern:
Due to time constraints associated with playing at a football game many directors have cut the length of their songs from Block Band therefore making them ineligible for the contest.
No bid deal,
If you received the music from Block Band then you have the full arrangement. Simply record your band playing the full arrangement while still in the bandroom.
The number one thing to remember.
Don’t let someone else take your $100/$200!
We look forward to seeing your band!
