The Finals will be held on August 20 at Spring Brook Rec Center, and these bands will be competing for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. All the placing bands will receive studio time and a free year of Web hosting from the Sound Lair. The winner will also receive a photo session from Dash_Glory Photography, the KSC will provide them with buttons with their logo on them, Strings from Broadway Sound, cash, and the first place band will receive a gift certificate to celebrate at El Chicos Mexican Cafe, an interview with Knox News Entertainment, as well as The Maryville Daily Times WEEKEND.
The KSC would like to give thanks to those that helped promote this event: The Metro Pulse, Knox News Entertainment, The Maryville Daily Times WEEKEND, Knoxshows.com and Knoxville520.
This Battle of the Bands does not end there. Proceeds from each night of the Battle of the Bands will be collected and once the Battle has come to a end, the The Knox Scene Coalition will purchase blankets, soaps, tooth brushes, tooth paste, canned goods, etc. and will make a cash donation to the Salvation Army Shafer House, which is a home for homeless families. No child should live on the streets. The local bands of Knoxville all have loving hearts and are always willing and ready to help anyone in need, even at their own Battle of the Bands.
Judges will be at the finals, and ballot voting will also take place. While the votes are being counted, special guest Absolute Power, will be performing.

Then, Knoxville will know what they have been waiting for......who will win 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
