My pal Dirk is a highschool teacher, and his school decided to have a Battle of the Bands to showcase some of the talent there.

Last night was the big show, and I, as well as a couple of other Esteemed Luminaries, were judges.

There were five bands ranging in ages and musical styles -I forgot just how young grade nines can seem- and most were quite good- all things considered.

Well, after watching them perform their three songs each, we retired to the judges quarters (cafeteria) to assess the winner.

We all agreed that it would be a group of grade nines, who really came into the contest as underdogs. They tried hard, probably had a higher hill to climb, and it was quite apparent that they were totally committed to what they were doing.

Pandemonium! a couple of the other bands thought that they should have won, and although most were gracious, a couple were really pissed. Shit started flying, and some of the supporters of the other bands began breating us judges.

It was a hoot!
