Beat the Band by Don Calame is one of the 20 Michigan Thumbs Up! award book selections of 2010.  The complete list and voting information is available from the MLA website or at your local library.

Coop wants to have an awesome sophomore year, but getting paired with the most hated girl in school is a death sentence for his social life.  To boost his chick appeal, Coop decides to enter the school’s Battle of the Bands and he will go to any lengths to get his friends excited as well.

This is the follow up book to Swim the Fly, which was a Michigan Thumbs Up! award Honor book.
