The Anne Arundel County High School Battle of the Bands is entering its 14th year as a much anticipated tradition among the county’s teen rockers.

Prepare to rock out with the best young band musicians in the auditorium at Maryland Hall in Annapolis today. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. and the music rolls at 5 p.m. Over the next several hours, for a $12 admission fee, the audience will be treated to 15-minute acts performed by 13 local bands.
