Battle of the Bands
International School Manila’s annual
student-run Battle of the Bands
(BOB) competition is in its eighth
year. This year’s event has more
participants than ever before; 15
Bands and 14 singers, and promises
to be the most entertaining BOB
yet! The Battle of the Bands
committee is also working with the
Philippine Community Fund (PCF) to
raise funds for the construction of
10 permanent family homes for the
people living in the Tondo on the
“Smokey Mountain” dumpsite.
Proceeds from ticket sales and our
raffle will go towards achieving this
goal.

Tickets for the April 17 and 18 are

P250 each. These two nights are the
preliminary judging nights and will
take place on ISM’s Middle School
Field.

Tickets for the night of April 24 are

350 pesos. This night is the Final
night of competition and will take
place on ISM’s Elementary Field.

Note: Tickets this year are “Baller-

bands” (rubber bracelets), and
there are 3 different colors: yellow
for day one, pink for day two, and
blue for day three. “Baller-Band”
tickets are on sale at lunch at ISM.
While “Baller-Bands” are limited in
number and only on sale during
school hours, those who would like
to attend the event can also
purchase entry into the event upon
arrival each night.

The Battle of the Bands committee

hopes you can attend!
