Audience members vote for the one band they prefer.

"This summer has been so exciting, musically," said art studio director Tanner Melvin. "We have fallen in love with some new area bands, exposed a variety of audiences to a variety of musicians, and really had a great time! I wouldn't miss the final couple battles for anything."
