the ball's anthem/anthem of the ball
I assume this refers to carnival. Different balls have their own anthems. More context would help me know which of the two options is best, it's hard to get the flow of the text with just one sentence.
On Carnival balls (in Rio) from http://www.lan.com/en_uk/sitio_personas/destination-guides/b... :
Carnaval Balls
Carnaval balls are giant, sometimes costumed, parties with live music and dancing, and an ambience that runs the gamut from staid and formal to wild and a bit tawdry. The most famous and formal ball (you’ll need a tux) is held at the Copacabana Palace, where you’ll have the opportunity to celebrate with Rio’s glitterati as well as international stars. Tickets cost R$1100 to R$3200.
Popular but less pricey balls (around R$40) are held at Rio Scenarium and at Scala. The most extravagant gay balls are found at LeBoy. To help get in the mood, these are good places to don a costume.
Tickets go on sale about two weeks beforehand, and the balls are held nightly during Carnaval. The Veja Rio insert in Veja magazine has details.

this year's anthem...
I'd leave out "ball" to make it sound better in English.
...will perform this year's anthem.

: I agree - I once played the tamborim with Mangueira (hehe - I know, I was rubbish!), and I clearly remember the "verde e rosa" anthem that year - definitely anthem!
