Battle of the Bands

Last night was a blast! 

Bend High DECA hosted a Battle of the Bands contest with 100% of all proceeds to benefit Family Access Network (FAN) (www.familyaccessnetwork.org)  programs at the local high schools, with a guest performance from Cadence. FAN helps our local families and children in need of anything from clothes to scholarships; from food to school supplies. 

With over 100 people in attendance the competing bands did not disappoint!  It was SO hard to pick a winner!  Nathan Woodworth (www.nathanwoodworth.com), Chase Mersereau of Cadence and myself were the 'celebrity' judges with Mike Flanagan as MC for the evening.

While the judges deliberated special guest band, Cadence, performed for the crowd while the competing bands anxiously awaited the results.  Cadence announced the winner...Three Up, Two Down!!  In addition to winning the 'Battle of the Bands'...Three Up, Two Down will also be opening for Cadence at their next concert!!

I have to say...Bend has some incredibly talented young musicians!  And..Bend High DECA has a couple of talented young ladies in their group...Karlie Holmgren and Paris Draheim. These two girls took on this HUGE event and these ladies delivered!
