funk, alternative, classic rock and
acoustic folk. Reggae artist
Daddy Lachi will also perform,
but not compete."
Kccfc said he hopes the event
will be a memorable one.
"We're doing this event free for
the campus and everyone seems
excited about it," said Keefe. "I
think this will probably be one
of the biggest events this campus
has seen."
The competing bands will be
vying for cash prizes, airtime on
Rocket 101, studio time at
Cycling Troll Recording Studios
in Fairview, and feature stories in
In Tune Magazine and The
Behrend College Collegian.
"The bands will be judged on
the classic Star Search
categories," Keefe explained.
"Categories include originality,
appearance and overall
entertainment quality."
"Originally, the contest was to
have winners in each category of
music," said Keefe.
"Unfortunately, there were not
enough bands per category."
Judging the contest will be
Behrend students and a D.J. from
Rocket 101.
Competing in Battle of the
Bands provides up and coming
bands with publicity and an
opportunity for recognition.
"I'm really looking forward to
it. We have lots of gigs coming
up in the area," said Mark
Murphy, bassist for Wink.

"We're recording a CD in early
May and we're hoping for the
publicity. We also want to go
out and have some fun with the
other bancl.s."
Jamie Schcrtzcr, guitarist for
Aftershock, agreed that publicity
is an important factor in
competing
"Getting your name out is
important, but having fun with
the other bands and the audience
is by far the most important
thing," said Schertzcr. "If the
audience doesn't have fun, it
doesn't matter how good your
hand is."
"I think this will
probably be
one of the
biggest events
this campus
has seen."

Over 75 awards will be handed

be on the students.
"The convocation is an

In order to convey a sense o
suspense, the actual awards will
not be revealed to the students
until the ceremony.
A basic letter is sent t(
students explaining to them tha
they have received an award, bu
the letter does not explain which
award they have moved.
The annual tradition will open
with a welcome from Amy J(
Huffman, President of ()micro
Delta Kappa Honor Society, and
opening remarks from Dr. John
Liiley, provost and dean.
After the myrid of awards are
presented to their recipients,
Kimberly Mcllwain, Proident
Lambda Sigma Honor Society,
will give the closing remarks.
The presentation as Rizzo
remarked, one of the longest
running traditions we have here."
