Thanks to everyone for participating and supporting. There were a lot of submissions this year! Unfortunately we couldn’t accommodate everyone’s requests because it was first-come-first serve. We hope to continue this show as an annual tradition, so to have as many cover bands perform as possible.

Thanks again, and keep a look out for the flyer!
