But remember that Sirius XM subscribers and local game participants will be invited to these exclusive gigs, a number of select promotional tickets will also be made available to area residents.

Even better? A grand prize consisting of a trip for two to attend the concert of the winner’s choice, spending money and a Sirius Satellite Radio with subscription will be given to the individual player with the highest score, with nine secondary prizes going to the runners up.

So congratulations to the winning communities! Pat yourselves on the back, and accept the collective praise from all attendees who will be treated to some fantastic jams courtesy of your musical knowledge. (Who says being a music snob is a bad thing?)
