Participants are strongly recommended to bring their own instruments and amps, when possible. The maximum duration of the band performance is 7 minutes.

General rules:

1. Please take note that this is a child-friendly event and not an X-rated concert, so we ask for participants’ discretion in performing appropriately, including outfits.
2. This concert/ competition is done in accordance with our 1Malaysia concept, so there will not be limitations on language of songs performed (whether Bahasa Malaysia, English, Chinese, Tamil, Hindi, Indonesian etc.)
3. There will be a rehearsal/ audition held 2 weeks before the Finals to ensure smooth flow of events on the day of Finals.
4. Judges’ decisions are final.

Prizes to be won include Best Band and Runner-Up, Best Dance and Runner-Up, and also Audience Favourite, so don’t forget to get your friends to vote for you. Winners will walk away with cash vouchers, trophies and the title of Beat-It! champions.
