HIGH SCHOOL BATTLE of the BANDS

Get ready for the 4th Annual HIGH SCHOOL BATTLE OF THE BANDS, happening January 17, 2027, at Warehouse 535, 535 Garfield St., Lafayette, LA! High-school-age musicians from across South Louisiana are invited to apply—band members do not have to attend the same school, younger musicians are welcome, and all genres are accepted. Bands will battle it out for an incredible opportunity: the winning band will perform at Festival International de Louisiane! Acadiana Talent is currently accepting band applications, sponsors, and volunteers, with sponsorship opportunities at $1,000 Platinum, $500 Gold, and $100 Friend of the Battle levels. Come support local music, encourage the next generation of performers, and help make this an unforgettable night for young musicians.
