"We kind of planned the event to be sort of a blowing-off,” said Bragan. “It’s something you can just come to and listen to music after a semester’s worth of work. You can beat out your frustrations with the joust or sumo wres tling, or you can eat nachos until your brain explodes. You’re just going to have a good time.” Bragan described The Julianna Theory's style of music as alternative rock. “Of the 12 bands, there’s a good streak of hardcore going through.” said Bragan. “One band in particular sounds likes the early Beatles.” The number of applicants raised sig nificantly this year thanks to relaxed en try rules. “We got rid of the restrictions that said at least one band member must be from Behrend, Mercy hurst, Edinboro or Gannon,” said Bragan. “This year there was 21 entries and we had to turn nine away.” The selection process involved 15 members and took approximately six hours, explained Bragan.
