The halls of Acalanes High School vibrated with sound last Friday afternoon as bands faced off in the annual Battle of the Bands. Acalanes students crowded into the front quad to watch eight bands perform covers of popular songs and original compositions. The eight bands were Thyroid Thursday, Starlighter, Pancake Mixtape, Obviously Man Beast, Fairbanks, Sky and the Skamily Skone, Hear Today Gone Tomorrow, and Waffle Wednesdays. Although most bands were composed entirely of Acalanes students and teachers, bands like Starlighter also had members from College Park and Monte Vista high schools.
Admission to the concert was free, and the Acalanes Meat Team sold hotdogs to attendees for $5 throughout the concert.
A panel of Acalanes staff, including Katherine Searing, Lauren Allen and Kristen Anderson, chose the winners of three Lamorinda Music gift cards. Waffle Wednesdays took first prize, with a $100 gift card, Starlighter landed $50 for second, Sky and the Skamily Skone took home a $25 gift card for third, and Hear Today Gone Tomorrow was named fourth.
Searing, the event organizer, was thrilled with the event's turnout: "The bands did a phenomenal job!"

Sky and the Skamily Skone (third place winner) members are Peter Holmes, Kennedy Kim, Evan Mickas, Oliver Taylor, Christian Linfoot, Wilson Hall and Tristen Guzaitis.
