Hijack The Band is an interactive cell phone game played while watching a band perform. The object is to add an exciting layer of give and take between the audience and the performers, giving the fans the ability to actually influence a number of aspects of the show. Fans play by voting and submitting suggestions with their cell phone to earn points which they can then use to Hijack The Band with their own suggestions.
