Bandquest 2022

A LIVE MUSIC EVENT FOR YOUNG MUSICIANS, POWERED THROUGHOUT AOTEAROA BY NZ ROCKSHOP

BandQuest is for bands (3-10 members) no older than year 8, with everything performed live; no prerecorded or mechanically performed instruments/vocals. Bands are to play a short two-song (6 minutes) set or medley of covers or original songs. Although we encourage getting students to write their own songs (there is an award for best original song), the judges will be briefed to focus primarily on performance skills when making assessments.The event day runs with a rehearsal during the afternoon and a public, ticketed performance in the evening.

The website (www.bandquest.co.nz) is updated now with dates, regions, and conditions of entry, and the online entry process is open.
