NESCAFÉ 3in1 Soundskool trawled the country in search of the lucky 13 last October during the Regional Eliminations stage. The top three college bands from Mindanao were announced in front of a full Atrium of the Limketkai Center in Cagayan de Oro City last October 3. On October 10, the three college bands that would represent the Visayas were named at the Piazza area of Parkmall in Mandaue City, Cebu. On the other hand, three of Luzon’s finest college bands were awarded last October 17 at the Central Plaza at Eastwood City Libis. And last October 24, bands from the Greater Manila Area (GMA) competed against one another at the Activity Center of Market! Market! in Taguig City for the competition’s four final slots.
