These six performances will face off for first, second, and third place, which if won means they get Guitar Center gift cards and studio time at Side Door Studios at CROYA. There is a prize for top solo act and top combo act for the bands as well.  

This year’s battle is working alongside LFHS theater and LFHS’ New Media program, who have been helping to make the battle one to be remembered.

Every band is selling tickets themselves for $5 each, and you can buy them at the door for $10! Make sure you come out and support CROYA’s Battle of the Bands this Saturday, April 13th.
