Summary:

Collects sixteen interconnected short stories about a high school's battle of the bands competition, from such authors as Shaun David Hutchinson, Brittany Cavallaro, and Preeti Chhibber.
For many, the Raritan River High School Battle of the Bands is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform onstage for their peers and maybe win a real recording session. For others it is a too-loud obligation or a chaotic test of their technological and organizational know-how. But for all it is a chance to live a different kind of life from the one they usually live... if only for one night, if only for one song. -- adapted from jacket
