One of the most epic community events of the year, BOTB is an electrifying showcase featuring bands from Pinellas County and the surrounding areas that come together to battle it out for the win, each striving to leave an indelible mark on the local music scene. So as the sun dips below the horizon and the stage lights illuminate the performers, gather your friends, secure your spot in the crowd, and get ready to immerse yourself in the vibrant sounds of talented local bands.

CELEBRATING WOMEN IN MUSIC & EDUCATION THIS MARCH!

March is a powerhouse of a month, honoring Women’s History Month and Music in Our Schools Month—two deeply meaningful celebrations that recognize the impact of women and the power of music education in shaping lives.

For International Women’s Day, we wanted to take the time to celebrate the incredible women who make this event possible, from the leaders and mentors paving the way today to the young musicians who will carry the torch for future generations.

To every woman who has played a role—big or small—in making this event a success, this day is for YOU!

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY to the inspiring women behind the scenes:

👑 Susan Zysk – Festival Organizer, Gulf Beaches Rotary Club
👑 Toni DePass – BOTB Director/Coordinator & Artist Liaison ()
👑 Audrey Short – BOTB House Manager ()
👑 Kimber Trotter – BOTB Judge/Sponsor ()
👑 Kaleigh Baker – BOTB Judge ()
👑 Alex Lavalle – Band Check-Ins ()
🤘🏽 All our fabulous female sponsors!
🎸 Every female participant in this year’s event!

Your passion, dedication, and leadership inspire not just today’s generation but the next wave of young women who will step up, take the stage, and redefine the future.

Music in Our Schools Month reminds us why we do what we do—music education changes lives. It gives students a voice, a purpose, and a community. It teaches creativity, discipline, and resilience. It’s a foundation that shapes who we are and who we become.

Women’s History Month reminds us of the shoulders we stand on. The fearless women before us broke barriers so we could play louder, dream bigger, and lead stronger.

From the top organizers to the volunteers working behind the scenes, every role matters. Every woman involved in this event is part of a legacy—one that empowers the next generation of girls to know their worth, take up space, and never dim their light.

So this month, we recognize YOU. We celebrate YOU. We thank YOU.

Let’s keep building, rocking, and inspiring.
