This year’s battle of the bands will take place from Nov. 3 to Nov. 7. Only six bands have signed on to perform most of which are solo performances. As a result, there will be no final performance, which would have been on Nov. 20, as it would have required the regular amount of around 18 to 20 bands to have signed up, according to Rod Keillor, ASB adviser. However, despite the smaller turnout there will still be judges to decide the top bands that will receive prizes, Keillor said.
