Fans can begin voting immediately by visiting www.HondaBattleoftheBands.com through October 25, 2012. The Invitational Showcase will be held at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta on Saturday, January 26, 2013.

In addition to the spirited musical performances and dance team choreography and pageantry, this year’s Honda Battle of the Honda Battle Of The Bands LogoBands offers fans a unique opportunity to create their own ultimate experience through a continually expanding digital and social media presence. New for 2013, fans visiting the www.HondaBattleoftheBands.com website can enter for a chance to win a personally-customized trip to the 2013 Invitational Showcase and a chance to take home an all-new 2013 Honda Accord*.

The program kicks off with the Celebration Tour, which provides fans with a closer look at many of the HBCU bands vying for a spot in the 2013 Invitational Showcase. The 10-stop tour runs through November, including a stop at the Circle City Classic where visitors to the Honda booth can enter the Honda Battle of the Bands sweepstakes onsite. Each university participating in the Celebration Tour receives a $1,000 grant from Honda for their music education programs, with the final eight schools advancing to the Invitational Showcase receiving an additional $20,000 grant from Honda. The final eight bands are chosen through a voting process incorporating online fan votes, band directors and the presidents of HBCU schools.

For more than a decade, Honda Battle of the Bands has proudly supported music education programs at HBCUs, and we’re always honored to provide the stage for these talented young musicians,” said Marc Burt, assistant vice president, Office of Inclusion and Diversity for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “The time and effort the students pour into each dynamic performance is evident every time they take the field. The Invitational Showcase gives these bands another opportunity to display their musical talent, athleticism and original performances to marching band enthusiasts, while also earning a grant for their music education programs.

Verizon is pleased to be part of this event that pays tribute to HBCUs and gives students a platform to express themselves through the arts,” said Cameka Crawford, manager, Community Relations and Multicultural Communications for Verizon Wireless. “Honda Battle of the Bands allows us to connect with the community in an authentic way.
