The second Beijing International School Battle of the Bands is happening Jan 31-Feb 1 at Culturopolis!
This year’s competition brings together an incredible roster of young musicians from 12 of Beijing’s international schools, including the French International School, Dulwich College, ISB, Daystar Academy, Tsinghua International School Daoxiang Lake, Beijing International Bilingual Academy (BIBA), HD Beijing School, and more.
Every band that takes the stage will walk away with goodie bags featuring dining vouchers, Beijinger merch, along with other awesome swag.
Top prizes last year for the winning performers included coveted awards including RMB 1,000+ restaurant vouchers from sponsors, professional studio time, songwriting courses, and celebration parties just to name a few.
This year’s bands will be netting prizes from Susu Vietnamese Restaurant, burger barons Side Street, Dastaan Indian Restaurant, plus more Beijinger favorite restaurants yet to be announced!
More importantly, think of the accolades: bands will be competing not only for the Best Band award, but other group and individual recognition such as Best Vocalist, Best Guitarist, Best Bassist, Best Drummer, Best Keyboard, Best Stage Presence, and more.
Think of how THAT will look on that college application!
BTW, we are still looking for expert judges, sponsors and volunteers for the event — Contact eloisewester@yahoo.com or WeChatID: TBJButler for more information

We also have space for one more band. Interested in winning some of these awards? Sign up with this: 2026 International High School Battle of the Bands Sign Up Form.
