Nescafe 3in1 Soundskool 2009 Promotional Artwork – Duwende Version

MANDAUE CITY, Cebu – Nescafé 3in1 Soundskool, the country’s most anticipated inter-collegiate band competition, will choose three of the best Visayas-based college bands who will perform this afternoon at the Piazza Area of Parkmall. These lucky young artists will automatically advance to the Finals stage of the competition where they will experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that includes head-to-toe makeovers, one-on-one mentoring sessions with some of the country’s top bands, intensive music workshops and performances alongside their band idols on the Grand Finals Night on November 14 at the Ninoy Aquino Sports Stadium in Metro Manila.

This October, Nescafé 3in1 Soundskool is searching the entire country for the next hot, young Pinoy music stars on the road by kicking off the competition’s Regional Eliminations leg. College bands that have passed Nescafé 3in1 Soundskool’s initial screening phase will be battling each other out for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be directly mentored by some Pinoy music greats.

Last week, Nescafé 3in1 Soundskool named Mindanao’s three regional finalists in the jam-packed Atrium of Limketkai Center in Cagayan de Oro City. After today’s Visayas regional eliminations, Luzon’s finest college will battle each other out on October 17 at the SM Baguio Event Center. Last but not least, bands from the Greater Manila Area (GMA) will battle it out on October 24 at the Activity Center of Market! Market! in Taguig City.

Thirteen lucky bands will then move on to the finals and get the opportunity to participate in the Nescafé 3in1 Soundskool 2009 Workshops in Boracay where they can listen to advice and insights of some of the local music industry’s top artists and business executives about how to further improve songwriting skills, ability to connect with audience, business savvy, among others. The finalists will also get to interact with their idols during teambuilding sessions and most importantly, perform live with them in mini-concerts that will be held on the island.

Nescafé 3in1 Soundskool’s Grand Prize Winner this year will receive PhP 250,000 in cash, PhP 100,000 worth of band equipment for the school they represent, and an exclusive record contract with Sony Music Entertainment Philippines.

This year’s Nescafé 3in1 Soundskool, with the theme “Huwag Na Magtago! Magparamdam Ka Na!” is supported by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Sony Music Entertainment Philippines, Paseo de Bahamas, Rudy Project, Boracay Scuba, Boracay Mandarin Island Hotel, Ix Chel, La Carmela de Boracay Resort Hotel and Parkmall in Mandaue City, Cebu.
