 2015 HONDA BATTLE OF THE BANDS January 24, 2015 - Atlanta, Ga
Like crabs crying at band camp, it's that time of year again; Voting is now open for the Honda Battle of the Bands. Of course with a new year, comes changes in the voting process so lets break it down: As usual, eight total bands will be invited to the showcase, but how they all get there is a difference story.
THE FIRST FOUR
Selected by the public overall opinion poll at hondabattleofthebands.com
One vote per band each day, up to six votes total per day, per registered user
After the top four vote-getters are determined, the 2 next highest vote-getters (who have not participated in the Invitational Showcase on
more than two occasions) will be selected. THE FINAL TWO Will be selected by Honda and Urban Sports from the eligible bands remaining after the fan vote is determined. Selection will be based on, but not limited, to: - Showmanship
- Social Media Buzz
- Years of Participation
and there you have it folks...the 8 bands who will be selected for the 2015 Honda Battle of the bands. Personally, I Like the fact that they are giving some new bands some shine this year. Its interesting to note that SOUTHERN is back in the mix and TALLADEGA COLLEGE has been added to the voting...the 2015 Honda could get interesting...thoughts? |

We just have to get our folks to vote. Get in and let the Blue and Gold Marching Band do their thing.

Southern and A&T would be one helluva show by themselves. All we need is for Grambling to throw their hats back in the ring and boom!

Also, shouldn't we get an automatic invite back since we actually won the event last year?

If Southern and Talladega don't get the votes to make the first 4, I see Honda making them their discretionary picks. The Jukebox has been getting a'lot of buzz and we are still in September. Also Talladega is on the ballot for the first time, and many bands get a great reaction on their first showings...I see Honda using both programs to get people into the dome, as attendance trends have been on the downturn in the past couple of years.

Also, shouldn't we get an automatic invite back since we actually won the event last year? That's what I'm worried about...people "assume" A&T will get an automatic invitation because we won last year. Well if we don't get the votes we may not get in. So please vote every day. In past years you can vote on multiple devices...cellphone, laptop, desktop and tablet. I'll check that out and let you know later. Now go vote! |
