The culminating event of our Summer Slam semester was exciting and fun. Nine bands performed in the showcase/battle of the bands event. All of the bands did a great job! We truly hope the students had fun and learned something, not only from Saturday’s event, but from the whole process throughout the summer. Thanks to all our friends and family who came out to support the students and instructors. A special thanks to the judges, Patrick Bordelon, Ryan Harris, and Peter Simone for their help. And CONGRATULATIONS to The Time Travelers for winning the battle portion of the showcase. The band will receive a full day of recording at Black Dog Recording. Thanks to Rick Naquvi for his help with recording the students. On this day of recording, the band will work with Doug, who will serve as producer, on a recording of their original song. The song will be mixed, mastered, and sent to Disc Makers who will professionally replicate 50 CD’s complete with art work and liner notes. Runner up for Battle of the Bands was High Voltage. Each member of the band received an i-tunes gift certificate. Congrats to all of the bands for such great performances!!!
I enjoyed the show. Kudos to all the musicians. The Time Travelers rocked. The band was really into it. The vocalist was awesome…such a strong, beautiful voice that could sing any style. She seemed to have all the right stuff, voice, stage presence & looks to make any band hot.
The orginal was very solid. Clearly the judges picked the most deserving group.
