The Battle of the Bands took place on February 27th in the Springville Junior High School auditorium. The cost of admission was five dollars, and the money earned served as a fundraiser for the girls basketball team. Many different styles of bands performed, including two rock bands, one screamo band, and one acoustic band. Forty dollars went to the first place winner, a band called One Man Short, and $20 went to the second place winner, Intricate Antics.

Audri Petro, a ninth grade student at SJHS, said “My favorite song was ‘May I ask who’s Calling’ by One Man Short. I am so glad I went to Battle of the Bands.”

Most students and teachers at SJHS that attended Battle of the Bands said that it was a fun-filled, deafening, amazing night that they would recommend anyone should attend next year. All bands are given a 20 minute slot for their performances, making the Battle of the Bands a great way to advertise local bands.

“We would love to have all junior high bands perform next year, it's a great opportunity for those that love music to get a feel for playing in front of others,” said Mr. David Kindrick, an eighth grade science teacher nad basketball coach at SJHS.

The Battle of the Bands was a great success this year, and any band that would like to perform, or music-lover that would just like to listen, should attend next year.
