They take the stage at their local PBOB Battle, hosted at a partner venue in their area.
A panel of guest judges, artists and music industry insiders, watches, deliberates, and awards 1st and 2nd place.
The winners? They get to hold onto the glory (and the bragging rights) for a full year… until the next Battle kicks off and the cycle begins again!

If the school is on board, selling tickets becomes easier. But here’s the thing: the band doesn’t need the school’s “permission,” so to speak. They can decide to participate and the proceeds still get donated to the school—which has happened more than once
Bonus perks: The school now has a band ready to perform at events like their fête, trivia night, or even neighbouring school fêtes. Plus, it’s an incredible way to show the younger generation the joy of live music performance
