AboutWhat's on the line? Over $5,000 in prizes and the coveted Best Rock Band In B.C. Trophy that solidifies your spot in the Rock Band Hall of Fame, an achievement all Rock Band fans are sure to want to accomplish! How Does It Work?You play 3 songs initially and build up your base score. Then the next round you will go head-to-head with another team except it won't be your normal head-to-head match-up. You'll select a song, and they'll select a song. You play your song as well as your opponent's song and they do the same. This way, there is absolutely no way anyone can cheat and everyone gets a fair crack at their best song. You keep advancing further and further until we have our finalists for the Roxy. The Top bands from the preliminaries on October 4th, 2008 - consisting of competitive, non-competitive and corporate teams - progress to play a real concert onstage at the prestigious Roxy Nightclub on November 6th, 2008.
