RECOMMENDATION
The Battle of the Bands during Pasko sa Gensan is a good add-on to the festivities highlights. It can have its Chrismasy Feel thru the songs that the bands will be performing and the costumes they are required to wear during the contests.
The organizing committee of this event suggests that during the screening and finals, band instruments should be provided including the bass, rhythm guitars, drums and drumsticks so more neophyte yet talented bands can join.
It would also be best, if spreading of invitation and information will be a month or two ahead of the date, to give the interested groups ample time to prepare and practice. Thus, competing bands for the finals will the best among the best.
For the FINALS, it should be stated clear that tardiness is a factor in winning or losing in the competition.
