The University Program Council will soon host one of their most competitive events, Battle of the Bands. On Sept. 17 at 7 p.m., hundreds of students and Auburn residents will gather on the AUSC Green Space to watch six bands compete.

Applications to compete are in the AUSC Suite 3130 and must be submitted by Sept. 10 along with a band demo. UPC council members will rank the applications and the top six student-led bands will perform.

The prizes include $400 for first place, $300 for second place and $200 for third place. The judges at the event will be VP of Student Affairs Dr. Carry, SGA President Kurt Sasser, and two other Auburn members.

Free food and drinks will be provided. The event is open to anyone in the Auburn community.

"This year we intend to have more than 600 people," said Matt Ciuros, director of special projects for UPC. "We're hoping everyone comes out, brings a blanket and has a great time."

In case of rain, they will move the event to the AUSC Ballroom.

"Rain or shine, we're going to have a great time," said Ciuros.
