News / GEORGIA DOME SOLD OUT FOR HONDA BATTLE OF THE BANDS 2006

Due to the POPULAR DEMAND, THE 4TH Annual Honda Battle of the Bands has sold out the 65,000-seat Georgia Dome for the third consecutive year. Honda thanks those who have supported this unique and exciting event that showcases the pageantry, heritage and showmanship of Black college bands.

For those attending the show, keep in mind of the following traffic advisory. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) will be closing several northbound lanes of the downtown connector from 9:00 PM Friday night until 5:00 AM Monday morning. Please be aware that this will effect northbound traffic leaving the city on Friday and Saturday nights and inbound traffic from the Southside on Saturday night.

For those who won't be able to attend the show, Honda Battle of the Bands HBCU Recruitment Fair offers an excellent opportunity for young people to learn what it takes to earn a spot in their favorite marching band. Marching band recruiters, from 17 Historically Black Colleges and Universities across the country, will be on hand to discuss their unique music programs.

In addition to learning about band programs, participants can speak with HBCU representatives about admission requirements, academic programs and scholarship opportunities.

The free Recruitment Fair is open to the public and will be held at the Georgia World Congress Center, Building C, adjacent to the Georgia Dome, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 28, 2006.
