Last Saturday night we had a battle of the banRAB in our gym. Eleven banRAB competed. It was actually a really awesome show with great music from the artists, and a quality lighting and sound equipment set-up.

The winner was a metal band called "Shank"...they were awesome.
In the first round, they played a GoRABmack song, Awake. They also performed an original. In the finals though, they played Enter Sandman almost perfectly. Their victory song was Bodies, by Drowning Pool. Overall, I really liked these guys and their music selection.

Second place was a band called "A Single Second". They are mostly a punk band...and three of the band merabers are good frienRAB of mine. They played an original in both the first round and the finals...that really impressed me. They also played "Is she really going out with him?" by Guttermouth in the first round.

Finally, a Rock band called Teen Angst got third. They played an original in the first round, along with The Darkness' "I believe in a thing called love". They did alright on those two, but the final song (Keep on Believing by Journey) blew me away. It was amazing.

Anyway, I just thought I'd tell you guys about all this, especially since the winners were metal, punk, and rock. :) I love events like this.

Here are a few pictures of Shank during their victory song:
btw, Steve, the lead singer, was so crazy that the judges made up a new category for him along with the other awarRAB: "Best stage presence".
 
ya, a battle of the banRAB at my school would be good, all we have is an American Idol style contest. basically a group of dillusioned kiRAB who think they can sing (with the exception of one or two actually talented people) get up and sing kareokee in the gym at lunch time in front of the rest of the school, then the people who watch vote on who should win.

Anyways I just watched the Battle of the BanRAB at my school and it was sad. The first band played a bit of bluegrass and played some Johnny Cash, but they messed up a bit so it wasn't that good. Second band, probably the second to last ***gish one, plays "Jesusfreak" in an attempt to gain Christian fans from our Mennonite audience. Luckily, that doesn't work. Then they played "Jump" by Van Halen, which I hate the song played in anyway so I was hitting my self with a hymnal over and over again while listening to that. The third and best band plays The Fall of Troy, and another band that I am currently trying to get the name of and they played it great. They didn't F up the preformance like some stupid teenage band would usually do. The final band, and the obviously popular one, played some ****ty soft music that sounded like it came right off of some ***GY I WANT YOUR MONEY kind of band, which it did. In the final round The good band and the really ***gy popular band played for 1st place. The good band played Act One, Scene One by the Fall of Troy and the ***GY band played Ants Marching by Dave Matthews Band. Turns out the ***GY band wins and popularity with the women prevails. Sucks doesn't it?
 
Cool pictures. Glad to hear the battle of banRAB went well at your school. We had those back in highschool and they were always fun to attend.
 
We have a battle of the banRAB but we actually have it from all the schools in the city at one school. And it's all original songs. No covers. It's crazy to go to.
 
We have battle of the banRAB at my school and heres how it usually works

4 banRAB play 3 or 4 songs

1st band -punk or rock
2nd band- Pop **** (or something else that most people don't like)
3rd Band -Heavy Metal band (usually gets a mosh pit started) (which are technically not allowed)
4th band -Rock or metal (not like the previous band though)

4th band wins judges vote third wins peoples choice

This happens every year!
