The 2024 Children's Band Battle was held at the NCPA Taihu Stage Art Centre, a complex in Beijing's Tongzhou district, on Sept 21 and 22. Fifteen bands stood out as they showcased their talents onstage.

Co-organized by the China Association of Popular Music and the China Society for the Studies of Children Literature, the event was open to youth bands from around China, gathering top Chinese musicians as judges, such as guitarist Liu Lin, music producer Bi Xiaoshi and jazz pianist-composer Kong Hongwei.

The event aims to provide a platform for children to showcase their talents, forge new friendships and foster communication through the universal language of music.

The participating bands were categorized into age groups — from 3 to 8 years old, 9 to 12 years old and 13 to 17 years old — ensuring that the competition was tailored to each group's capabilities.

The judges also worked as mentors to the youth bands, offering guidance during rehearsals and conducting master classes to nurture their musical prowess.
