Battle of the Bands
On Friday, 28th June, Riverside High School hosted its annual Battle of the Bands at the Door of Hope, showcasing the immense talent and creativity of our student musicians. The event was a resounding success, with each performance reflecting the hard work and dedication our students have put into their music.
We are incredibly proud of all the participants. Every band brought their unique sound and energy to the stage, impressing the audience with their original compositions and dynamic performances. The standard of musicianship was exceptionally high this year, making the judges' decisions particularly challenging.
A special congratulations goes to Astral Project, who delivered a captivating performance that earned them a spot in the prestigious Rock Challenge. Their innovative sound and stage presence set them apart, and we are excited to see them represent Riverside High on an even larger stage. Coming in a close second was 75% who will also be representing the school at Rock Challenge.
We also want to commend Jaylah, Gemma, and Darci for their outstanding performance in the Off the Rocks section. Their harmonious blend and compelling stage charisma won over both the judges and the audience, securing them the top spot in this category.
The Battle of the Bands is more than just a competition; it's a celebration of our students' passion for music and their ability to collaborate and create something truly special. Each performance was a testament to hours of practice and the artistic vision of our young musicians.
Thank you to everyone who participated, supported, and cheered for our bands. Your enthusiasm and encouragement make events like this possible. We look forward to seeing what our talented students will achieve next and wish Astral Project, 75%, and our acoustic trio the best of luck in the Rock Challenge!
