Movin’ On Kicks Off Battle of the Bands 3/19, 9pm, Alumni Hall

Posted by Alexandra Voigt on 03/15 at 01:25 PM

This Saturday, March 19th at Alumni Hall, Penn State’s annual student-run music festival known as Movin’ On, will present its fellow students with this year’s Battle of the Bands.  Every spring semester the Movin’ On committee invites all music enthusiasts involved in a band or solo act to apply to perform at the outdoor festival held at the end of the school year.

After narrowing the field from 40 applicants to 12 musical acts, the Movin’ On committee is proud to introduce the “Battle” showcasing the most talented and stimulating acts.  Beginning at 9pm, the artists will play about a 20-minute set, each back-to-back from two stages. A panel of student judges will survey band musicianship, stage presence, and crowd reactions.

At the end of the night, only the top four bands or solo artists who have proved their talents to the audience and the panel, will be chosen to perform at the 37th Movin’ On music festival.  These four acts will play along with big-name, paid acts including Little Big Town, Lupe Fiasco and OAR. The fourth act is still to be determined.

Here is the list of the 12 bands playing this Saturday night!  Please support them by going to the Battle and creating that audience reaction!
