WFHB Bloomington Community Radio
Who is Bloomington’s Best Band? The Buskirk-Chumley Theater is determined to find out! We’ve recruited a panel of local music and performance experts to judge bands representing various genres.
Eight local bands will be performing completely original music for the judges over three rounds, each round getting progressively harder. Round 1 will have one prerecorded 10-minute set per band. Round 2 will have one pre-recorded 20-minute set per band. The Final Round will have three bands perform 30-minute sets to a limited in-person audience, including judges. None of the competing bands are currently signed with a record label (yet!). The winner of the contest will be announced live at the end of the concert and be awarded the $1,000 cash prize and title of “Bloomington’s Best Band!” The runner-up will receive a $500 cash prize and all bands will receive virtual exposure and a chance at being discovered!
This series has four events: Round 1 has two virtual shows 5/21 & 5/22 at 7pm, Round 2 has one virtual show 5/28 at 7pm, and the Final Round has one virtual show 6/3 at 7pm with a limited in person audience. VIP in person tickets to the final show will include tickets to all three previous virtual shows. The socially distanced audience is limited to 50 people. Masks are required. Virtual tickets are $18 the day of the event.
