National Campus Band Competition (NCBC)



The National Campus Band Competition (NCBC) is Australia's largest uni band comp. It's been around for more than 19 years and has seen some great bands emerge - Jebidiah, Eskimo Joe, The Preytells and the Dee Dee Dums from UWA alone! Not only can NCBC bring a band potential fame and fortune, but it's great exposure and a fun comp! Winning bands from UWA will compete in the Semi-Finals across Perth against other WA unis and TAFEs for bragging rights plus a shot at the National Final.

This year's comp is over but you can get involved in 2010! Registration will open in February. Watch this space for details on how to enter your band!

The WA State Final took place on Saturday 12th September at the Rosemount Hotel. The Brow took out first place with their summery Cat-Empire-esque tunes and went on to represent WA at the National Final on the Gold Coast. In second place was UWA's alecducak, who will be invited to play at the 2010 O-Day Festival Concert as the top-rated UWA band! Congratulations to all the bands who played in the State Finals:
