Welcome to the National High School Battle of the Bands!

The National High School Battle of the Bands is seeking High School Rockstars! Get your school involved for a chance to prove that you've got the BEST High School band in Canada!



The National High School Battle of the Bands is a program designed to help your school's talent shine, and offers a great free opportunity for bands in your school to win some amazing prizes. Entrants get to play live shows for the chance to win scholarships, music gear, recording time, and the ultimate bragging rights as the National High School Battle of the Bands champions!



Last Year



Last year's High School Battle of the Band winners came from Calgary, Edmonton, and Toronto.

Throttle from Edmonton, and Highschool Casualties from Calgary each won a shopping spree at Axe Music, giving both the bands and their schools a shared $1000 to spend on music gear.
E-Funk from Toronto also won 12 hours of recording time at a professional studio!




How it works


Want to get YOUR band involved in the biggest High School Battle in the country? It's easy!



1. If your school has a Battle of the Bands or Talent Show:


We'll help your Music Department or Student Council to get all the participating bands signed up on Supernova.com. Once all the bands are signed up, your fans, friends and family members can vote online for their favourite band after the talent show. The voting will be open for one week after the show, and the band with the most votes at the end of the week will advance on to the City Finals - at a real live-music venue in your closest major city!


2. If your school doesn't have a Battle of the Bands or Talent Show planned:


Don't worry! Even if your school doesn't have a Battle of the Bands or talent show, your band can still participate. Working with the Music Department or Student Council, we will help gather up all the bands in your school and get them signed up on Supernova.com. Once all the bands are signed up, we'll set a date when the Online Vote for your school will open. If you have any recorded music, photos, blogs, or video, you can post them to your Supernova.com profile so your fans, friends, and family will have something to see when they're voting for you. The Online Vote will be open for one week and the band with the most votes at the end of the week will win and advance to the City Finals which will be held at a real live-music venue!


The City Finals:

Each participating city will have a City Finals event that will be held in a real live-music venue in your city. Last season, we held the City Finals in venues like The Reverb in Toronto, The Jet in Edmonton, and the Orpheus Theatre in Calgary. We'll bring it all out - big sound, tight production, bright lights, everything you'll need to rock the stage. All you'll need to do is bring out all your fans to support your band and vote after the show's over - because the winner of the City Finals wins a prize and moves on to the National Online Vote - to determine who is the best High School Band in Canada!
