The stage was set. The aspiring rock stars ready to fire from their guitar and drums to prove their supremacy in the battle. Every thing was in place for the auditions of Campus Rock Idols at Leisure Valley - a loud stage, the cult of metal worshippers and high-energy music. It was an opportunity that no city band could let go of, a chance to become the next big thing in the rock scene. So, we had 16 campus bands jamming it up for themselves and for the cheering headbangers.

It's low-cal, clean and efficient.
