Get ready for an unforgettable night! Under the direction of Brady Kerr, Norco Music is excited to present its first-ever Battle of the Bands on Friday, Nov. 8, at 6 PM in the Little Theater. This inaugural event highlights the creativity and passion of local musicians while giving the Norco College community a unique chance to experience the energy of live music.
Following a highly competitive audition with 16 local bands, nine finalists will take the stage to battle for top honors. These bands represent a dynamic mix of talent across all ages and genres, ensuring a night full of diverse sounds and high-energy performances. Students from the Music Industry Studies program are leading the event’s production, gaining valuable real-world experience in organizing live events.
The stakes are high: the winning band will earn a paid spot at NOMU Fest 2025 and get the chance to record an EP in Norco College’s professional recording studio—a major opportunity for emerging artists to take their music career to the next level.
“This is the first time we’ve done something like this at Norco College,” said Brady Kerr, event director. “It’s exciting to bring local talent together and create a space where musicians and the community can connect through music. We’re looking forward to an amazing night.”
The event is free and open to the public, so bring your friends and family and come cheer on your favorite band!
