Bach to Rock’s Fifth Annual Battle of the Bands is back—and it’s going to blow the roof off the place! Join us Saturday, June 8 at the legendary McMenamins Kennedy School for an electrifying afternoon of student-powered sound and serious competition. 

Doors open at 12 PM. The battle rages from 1 to 5 PM.

Talented student bands from elementary, middle, and high school will hit the stage with high-energy covers and original tracks, battling it out for a chance to represent our school at the National Battle of the Bands this summer. These aren’t your average recitals—this is pure, unfiltered musical ambition on full display.

From fist-pumping anthems to jaw-dropping solos, this is your front-row ticket to the future of rock.

Four hours. Three age divisions. One unforgettable show. Don’t miss the battle that brings it all.
