Coomera Anglican College students are gearing up to take centre stage for the 7th Battle of the Bands at 6:00pm on 15 June.
12 bands representing eight Gold Coast and Brisbane high schools will showcase their musical talents in styles such as rock, pop, grunge, funk, acoustic guitar and reggae in the event hosted by the College in partnership with TAFE QLD Gold Coast.
All bands must have a minimum of three and maximum 10 band members, and all perform two songs on the night – either covers or originals.
Coomera Anglican College Battle of the Bands Event Coordinator, Lynne Tarlinton, said the event is an exciting live performance opportunity for talented young musicians to shine on stage.
“Battle of the Bands has been designed to provide aspiring young musicians with an opportunity to gain confidence and exposure though live performance, as well as valuable insights and career pathways into the music industry,” said Ms Tarlinton.
“Participants are given a fabulous and unique experience to perform in TAFE’s $26m state-of-the-art professional facilities, while also participating in ‘performance-ready’ workshops leading up to the Battle and then receiving feedback on their performance from professional musicians and music industry representatives on our judging panel,” she said.
“With each year, we are seeing more and more bands performing an original piece which is an excellent opportunity to showcase young songwriters.”
“It’s great to see all the students from both Gold Coast and Brisbane schools unite to celebrate their musical talents and express themselves creatively in a safe and encouraging place.”
Members of the public are invited to attend the Battle of the Bands at the TAFE QLD Gold Coast Coomera Campus with tickets available on the evening for $10 per person.
