t was hot, it was loud, it was right out of MTV. It was Battle of the Bands. On May 7th, Band and Yearbook spon- sored the second annual Battle of the Bands. At 7:30 p.m., four acts took to the stage to act out their wildest fantasies in front of 300 scream- ing, wild, rock-crazed fans. The first band to perform was By Invita- tion Only featuring lead singer Dianna Leonard. The band rocked the house with “Old Time Rock and Roll,’ moved the audi- ence with Journey’s ‘Open Arms.”’ Next was the acid-slashing heavy metal group, Malicious Intent, which had the audience partying in their seats. The third group to perform was AKA, a freestyle band led by Junior, Gray Gurkin, who also wrote all the music he performed. The last act of the night was Lost Boy. The spectators found the band, led by Junior Brenton Evans, to be best of all. He was backed by Mike Steger, Marc Stonestreet, Billy Al- wood and Lee Church. After Lost Boy wandered off stage, an act of teachers accom- panied by Mike Spike did a rap about their school life. For the grand finale, a post- punk folk-rock group, Flat Stanley made a guest appear- ance playing their originals. Now, the crowd was ready for the winners, the judges deci- sion — Lost Boy.
