HUNTINGTON BEACH : Annual Surf Band Competition Sunday

The second annual battle of the surf bands will be held Sunday at the Huntington Beach High School football stadium.

Special guests and hosts of the program are Jan Berry and Dean Torrence, who in 1963 introduced the song “Surf City,” which became the No. 1 surf hit of the era.

The bands on Sunday will engage in the 1960s practice of competing onstage to become the favorite of the audience.
