The 26th Annual Minneapolis


The Registration Process


,










Left, BOJB committee members randomly drawing band entrants for the 2008 Battle

Band Selection Due to the overwhelming popularity of this event, there has been of late more bands that register than there are time slots.  Therefore, a lottery was used to select the bands in the battle.  Not all bands will get in. Please understand that there is a limited time frame, and that the lottery is a completely unbiased and totally random process characterized by fairness and honesty. Bands will perform in the order they are drawn. 
There were only 20 slots; 27 bands registered.


The lottery was held on January 9, 2008..

Hey everybody,
    first off, congratulations to Grandma's Saggy Jugs! Fantastic set! Y'all had my vote!
    Second, thanks to everyone who we shared the stage with. That was so much fun, and all the bands were great. I hope we can do it again next year!
    Third, thank you to "the committee" for organizing everything and making it happen. We were so excited to be a part of the Battle this year, and it completely lived up to our expectations. We had a wonderful day and enjoyed ourselves tons!

Sincerely,
