Five bands, no waiting!

Saturday night was rocking with the mega-amplified sounds of the Battle
of the Bands. Ray Roel put the gig together with the Huntington Youth Development Association and the expected turnout of 150 kids turned
out to be 171!

The music was loud, but solid, with some pro sounding guitar and drum licks. Each group had its own following and as the bands each took the stage, those girls were squealing!

All the proceeds went to the Ecumenical Lay Council Food Pantry. As Bishop Walker said in his sermon the next morning; "The music was good and we all had a fun time; but the food . . . the food touched the lives of people we don't even know."

Kudos to everyone who staffed the event. It went off so smoothly that everyone wants to do it again. At this moment, new dates are being considered.

Awesome!
