I worked stage crew for many of them, 5 to be precise, the 5th was after I graduated I just helped out because the auditorium director called me asking for help.

I always loved them, especially when the best band would always so FUCK, get disqualified but win in everyones heart. :3

Disqualified for what? Performance enhancing drugs?

Nothing like a line or two of china white before the highschool talent show. I ended up playing the pepper ann theme song and thinking it was the coolest thing ever.

I haven't been to many but in my experience the bands are pretty terrible. Not in terms of musicianship, they're often solid in that respect. But the music is just boring. The kinds of musicians who are drawn to a battle of the bands are the same types of people who enter contests to have their song played on the local rock station and are generally not innovative, imaginative, or compelling people musically.

But take what I say with a grain of salt as I like some pretty terrible music.

Due to my overbearing mother and the stifling hypocritical religion she was in, I wasn't allowed to listen to music until I was 12 and even then it was for 15 minutes at a time so that satan wouldn't get me through the radio.

Do you know for certain, or are you just assuming Satan didn't get >>68821 ? Kid could be posting from the geographic center of Hell for all we know.
