Canterbury Christ Church University is excited to host a Battle of the Bands competition for School and College students from around Kent.
To be in with a chance to play at this event and showcase their talents, bands will need to submit a link to an audio recording or video of them performing a live version of an original or cover song. If selected, bands will be invited to perform a 15 minute set in the Anselm Theatre at CCCU, a professionally equipped performance space with professional sound system and full lighting rig, with engineering and set-up handled by students and staff from CCCU's Music Production and Popular Music courses. Audience members and student peers from music courses are also invited. This performing space will feature a judging panel and an audience, offering students an excellent opportunity to gain real-world performance experience, receive expert feedback, meet other bands and is a great way to celebrate the music making which is happening in schools and colleges across Kent.
The top-performing bands will compete for incredible prizes, including recording time in CCCU's state-of-the-art studios or a coveted performance slot at Ramsgate Music Hall, one of Kent's premier music venues.
To ensure flexibility, we offer morning, early afternoon, and late afternoon slots, including the option to perform outside school hours. While we cannot guarantee solo performers time due to high demand, they will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
