national campus band competition: local heats

National Campus Band Comp (NCBC) is the largest live band competition in the southern hemisphere. NCBC has been running on Australian university and TAFE campuses across the country for 21 years providing audiences with some truly memorable moments and memorable bands. Each year up to 400 bands from over 40 institutions compete live, looking to be crowned national winners of this prestigious and highly respected competition.

NCBC is a great way to get live music experience under your band's belt, not to mention some great prizes and media and record company attention. Previous winners and entrants have included: Eskimo Joe, The Vines, Jebediah, George, Grinspoon, Waikiki, Frenzal Rhomb, 78 Saab, Augie March and The Vasco Era, to name a few!

Local heats are now under way with Adelaide Uni holding its battle from 9 August - 12 August in the Uni Bar. From there, the Adelaide Uni FINAL will be held on Friday 26 August. Then the SA STATE FINAL (The Governor Hindmarsh) happens on Thursday 1 September, with 2 bands from each University battling for a place in the National Finals, which will be held in Victoria in early October 2011. Each State Winner will receive $500 cash, plus fame, glory and gloating rights!

Entry into the National Campus Band Comp 2011 is open now for a few remaining universities. Your band must have at least one member who is a student at an institution that is a current financial member of AACA (Australian Association of Campus Activities). Once you've entered, your local campus coordinator will get in touch with details of your local section of the competition.
