2012 Battle of the Bands Competition Date is Nearing

The 2^nd Annual: Praise on the Prairie, Battle of the Praise Bands is slated for Saturday, April 28, 2012 at the beautiful downtown Fargo Theatre. We will have a host of celebrity judges on hand and a houseful of joyful Christians as we have a “friendly” competition to determine the regions very finest Praise Band!  Each band participating will be allowed 15 minutes to perform (3 – 4 pieces depending on length of song) of performance time. The TOP band will receive a monetary prize of $500.00 to be used as they wish.

At a mutually agreed upon date/time, the Battle of the Bands selection committee will visit all responding churches to listen to their band, either during a rehearsal or performance.  Please know a video-taped performance may be requested due to increasing interest in this event.  Recommendations and a final determination of which groups will participate will be finalized.  All churches will be notified of decision by February 28^th (2 months prior to actual event).

This event is an important fundraiser for Friendship, Inc.  A brochure is enclosed so you can read more about last year’s amazing event.

Interested in participating? Please complete the enclosed form and return it in the envelope provided (by Wednesday, November 1^st). If selected, your praise band will be heard by hundreds of people in the F-M area!  What a fabulous way to share your church’s music ministry with a captive audience at the Fargo Theatre while supporting FRIENDSHIP, INC!

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call Amelia Felz or Don Brunette at 701-235-8217. We look forward to seeing your church’s praise band on stage at the HISTORIC FARGO THEATRE on April 28^th, 2012!

 Warm Regards,
The Praise on the Prairie Steering Committee
