Balle Balle Balle!  It’s that time of the year again, and Boston Bhangra, Inc is hosting their 3rd annual Boston Bhangra Competition on November 11th, 2006.  Their past 2 competitions both sold out, and were both a phenomenal success!  They have consistently gotten the best bhangra teams in North America and Canada to come and compete in Boston.  This year is no different.

This year, the Boston Bhangra Competition, or called BBC for short, will be hosted on November 11th, 2006 at the Orpheum Theatre.  Unlike past years, they have moved the venue to the prestigious Orpheum Theatre, which is located at 1 Hamilton Place in Boston, MA.  The capacity is close to 3,000 people, and they hope to sell out for the 3rd straight year.  Based on the demand and excitement from past years, that could very well happen.

This year, the competition will have teams from all over the US and Canada.  They will have teams from Vancouver Canada, California, Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and of course, Boston.  These teams have consistently done well in many competitions, and they will once again make it difficult on the judges.

To add even more excitement to the event, Boston Bhangra will have special performances by the Legendary Heera bhangra group and Kam Bhamra & Jeeti.  These artists have made the famous songs: Maar Chadappa, Dowain Janiya, Time Das Ja, and Aaja Soniye, among many more.  You can hear some of these songs on the Boston Bhangra website.

Bombay Club will be the food vendor of choice as they will be serving snacks, dinner and drinks at the venue, so come hungry so that you can enjoy their fantastic food!

Also, for the first time, the show is being advertised on Sahara One, Filmy and Ravi internationally!  This is a first for the competition, as they hope to get international exposure through this means.  They will also be airing the show on television in late December on Filmy.  

Overall, this is a huge year for the Boston Bhangra Competition, as they are getting heavily involved with television, bringing great teams to a historic theatre, and serving great food! This is not a show that you want to miss!  The tickets are a nominal $20 for general admission, and $30 for VIP.  This is very cheap for a show that will be highlighted with more than 3 hours of exciting bhangra!

Filmy, DirecTV, and Bombay Club are some of the bigger sponsors that have helped to make this show a reality.

We look forward to seeing you at the Orpheum Theatre on November 11th!  Buy your tickets early before they’re sold out!  For more information, visit www.bostonbhangra.com.  You can also e-mail: info@bostonbhangra.com, or call 617-448-2508 for more information.
