Screams, yells, pierced ears and oil stained hands, mod clothing and the prep look. These ad- jectives just begin to de- scribe the night of the Battle of the Bands — the audience, not the band members. The an- nual Battle of the Bands is a competition among bands. Monacan’s 1985 extravaganza Saw sever- al heavy metal and punk rock groups perform. The judging was done, among others, by our own Mr. Cook from the Social studies depart- ment. The bands were judged on style, sound, audience reaction and general atmosphere cre- ated. As a spectator, it was almost as entertaining to watch the show in the audience, halls and parking lot as it was to watch the show on stage. However, the perfor- mances given by the Steve Ramsey of the Final Entry becomes a part of his song during the competition. bands were noteworthy and if the large turn out of spectators was any in- dication, well worth the admission charge. After hearing the bands and seeing The M(O)thers, the winners, all I could say was, ““One more time!” Getting ready to play is the drummer of the (M)Others.

The class of 1985, of Monacan High School provided us with the very first Senior Stunt Night. Members of the senior class presented the chiefs with an in depth look at the twelve years of school, fashion advice, from Laurie Maxwell’s beauty bou- tique and the ever con- tinuing saga of General Med First Hospital. These humorous skits became even more comi- cal with the help of some not so willing audience members. Other senior talent in- cluded singing by Beth Parker, and Mich elle Skiba, and Adrienne Lanam playing the pi- ano. Mrs. Parrish and the senior class council sponsored Senior Stunt Night. The funds raised helped the senior class pay for the annual ban- quet that was held at the Marriott Hotel in May. This first Senior Stunt Night is sure to start a tradition at Monacan. The evening was one to remember. Senior Stunt Night Page 19
