known as The Battle of Puget Sound, which takes place in Galaxy on
Thursdays, July 3, 10, 17, and 24, 2025.
On each night, three bands will perform 45-minute sets, with time slots assigned by the Entertainment Committee.
Performance times will be at 8:00PM, 9:00PM, and 10:00PM. Each event will be judged by crowd vote: all guests entering Galaxy will receive one ballot card and have their hand stamped to ensure one vote per person.
At the end of the night, guests will place their ballots into a box, and the Entertainment Committee will tally the votes to determine the winning band. The band with the most votes on each of the four nights will move on to the final round.

The Final Round will take place on Thursday, July 31, 2025, and will feature the four winning bands from the previous rounds.
Each band will perform two 30-minute sets, with performance times assigned by the Entertainment Committee.
The first round of performances will begin at 7:30PM and continue through 10:15PM.
After a short break, the second round will resume at 10:30PM and conclude at 1:15AM.
As with the earlier rounds, audience members will cast their votes via ballot cards received upon entry, and the Entertainment Committee will collect and tally the ballots to determine the final winner.
Step 4: Prizes!
Prizes will be awarded at the Casino Cage to the designated Band Leader of each winning band.
The Band Leader must be present at the time of the announcement to receive the prize.
