THE BATTLE – A Battle of the Bands Competition with Special Guest Performances Throughout the Night 

Join us for a Minnesota advertising & communications industry battle of the bands that will shake up the status quo. Agency bands will descend upon First Avenue to find out which shop has the best musical chops and raise scholarship money for diverse students. Bands will be critiqued by a panel of notable judges to compete for bragging rights and prizes, and the night will include special guest performances by Minnesota favorites.

All proceeds from the event will support an innovative collaboration between the University of Minnesota’s College of Liberal Arts, its student run CLAgency and The BrandLab. Money raised will be used to start “The Battle” Scholarship Fund at the U of M to support students from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
