When the Dixie battle of the bands was all said and done, Verona was crowned the winner of the event. The other three bands that performed weren’t too shabby either.
The contest was held at the GoGo37, which is on the corner of St. George Boulevard and Main street.
The band to take the stage first was Queens Anne’s Revenge. The Classic Rock band played two covers, one by Slash and the other by Joan Jett along with one of their own songs.
The group features junior Bryce Webster on guitar who said he was pumped to play in front of his fellow students. “ I was really hyped to get on stage and play for everyone.”
Next the band that had formed just weeks prior to them playing on stage was Logical Fallacies. The Indie Rock band put together their own versions of “What I’ve Done” by Linkin Park and “Come Sail Away” by Styx.The group also performed a song they wrote themselves.
The runner up was the Alternative Punk group The Message. They opened up with “Seven Nation Army” by The White Stripes. The band also played two original songs.
The Message’s drummer, junior Hunter Chamberlain said he and his band hope to do better next year and play a few shows in the future. “ We’ll be practicing for next year and maybe we can get some gigs soon.”
The final band to play in lights of GoGo37 was the Southern Rock group Verona. The group was without their singer due to some personal reasons.
It didn’t seem to phase them as they took first place and are going to play in the region battle of the bands with an opportunity to go to state.
All the bands played great and lets hope for another great show next year.
