The best band will win a career-boosting prize package consisting of a 6-song EP mastering by Elliott Sabbagh, a promotions package courtesy of The Sound Lab, an electronic press kit assembly, graphic design services by Grant Kendall and a photo session with Grace Photography.

On top of awesome prizes, Bubblz Bubble Tea & More, from Adrian, will be serving nachos and hot dogs out of its food truck. Maidstone Theater also has a full-service bar for those wanting a more adult beverage.

So help yourself to some awesome music, help some animals, have some nachos and bubble tea and win cool prizes. What more could you want?

If you can’t make it to the Battle, or if rock just isn’t your thing, you can still donate to the HSHV fundraiser here.

The Humane Society of Huron Valley has been helping Washtenaw animals for over 100 years. It provides countless animals shelter, food and care and a chance to be taken home by their "furrever" family. It also offers low-cost medical care -- such as low-cost spay and neuter procedures, dog training classes and emergency services -- to pet owners within the county and educational programming for schools and youth. 

The event has been put together by the Issac Family Holiday Fundraiser and is supported by local businesses such as the Maidstone Theater, The Sound Lab and HopCat, among many others. To learn more, visit the Battle of the Bands Facebook event page.  

Maidstone Theater is located at 1425 Ecorse Road, Ypsilanti.
