After judging and scoring in the semi-final round, the top 5 bands will be announced that evening.
"Those five will then go for the opening night," Schulz said. "Then the top two will have the ability to open up for two of our national acts. It's kind of a really cool thing, to kind of showcase. During our June event, each one of the bands will have about 40 to 45 minutes to perform."
