Swingin' Festival for Gulf Gaters!

More than 100 local teen combos will be competing in a "Battle of the Bands" during the KNUZ Swingin' Festival at Gulfgate Shopping City Thursday, March 23, through Sunday, March 26.

Beautiful engraved trophies will be awarded to the first through fifth place winners by The Houston Chronicle Young World. Judging will be done by Young Worlders who will be given a ballot when they attend the festival.

Bands that want to compete in the battle should contact Buddy McGregor of KNUZ, who will coordinate stage activities. In addition to the competing bands, there will be special performances by record stars such as Neal Ford and The Fanatics, Charlie Romans and The Pastels, The Coastliners, The Traits and the Surf Knights.

Dozens of other exciting booths will be set up for the festival. These will include exhibits of mod style clothes, musical instruments, custom cars, motorbikes, mag wheels and other auto accessories. A "Dunk-a-Tank" will be sponsored by University of Houston fraternities.

The chronicle will have a souvenir booth where visitors can have their picture taken "on the front page of the newspaper."

Events will take place under a colorful tent in the north parking area of Gulfgate, near the Gulf Freeway.
