There's still time to sign up for the Battle of the Bands, hosted by the Akron Area YMCA

The Akron Area YMCA is calling on local bands to get loud, get creative and get ready to rock the house.

On March 2, the Riverfront and Firestone Park YMCAs will host the Battle of the Bands event at Cuyahoga Falls High School to benefit the Partners With Youth Annual Giving Campaign.

“This is a great opportunity for young bands to build confidence in not only their sound, but also themselves,” said Riverfront YMCA Properties Manager Randy Keen in a news release. “It’s all about getting out there, taking on a challenge and most of all having fun.”
