Last week, we announced your picks for Grand Band Slam winners, and our editor’s picks. It’s a large and well-rounded crop of bands, if only a small portion of the Valley’s near-infinite roster. This week, you can see some 30 of those bands hit the stages at Maximum Capacity in Chicopee. (On pages 40-41, you can check the full lineup, and be sure to look online for updates.) Three stages offer hours of ear candy in many genres, and one of the bands will even win $10,000 worth of prizes. Join the party, starting at 2 p.m. on Saturday.
