Teen bands to be showcased in Foundation for Excellence Battle of the Bands

This summer, local teen bands can showcase their talents at the first-ever Plainfield School District Foundation for Excellence Battle of the Bands. Teens will have a chance to perform their own music on stage during the event, which coincides with Plainfield Fest. Battle of the Bands will take place on Saturday, July 15, in the Plainfield High School-Central Campus Auditorium (611 W. Ft. Beggs Drive, Plainfield) beginning at noon.

Band members must be between the ages of 14 and 19 years old at the time of the show. This is a family show, so band members' clothing, material and performance must be obscenity- and violence-free and suitable for a family audience. There is a $50 fee per band to reserve a space in the competition.

Bands interested in performing, should contact Carla Erdey at (815) 577-4008. A complete listing of the rules can be found at www.learningcommunity202.org/202Foundation/

Battle of the Bands is open to the public. Admission is $5. All proceeds will benefit Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202 students through Foundation for Excellence grants, scholarships and special programs.

The Plainfield School District Foundation for Excellence is an independent, non-profit organization comprised of citizens committed to the development of enrichment programs and services that make a significant contribution to the quality of education.
