The Big Annoucement: We Took 3rd at the Battle!!!

We are proud to announce that SHASTA BLVD took 3rd place at the Battle of the Bands Finals at Club 3 Degrees!  In case you weren’t there to see us play, we’ll tell you a little bit about the night.  We played the first night of the tournamentwith 4 other bands; Boiling Point, Fades Away, These Hearts, and Tranz4merz.  The tournament ended with 5 bands playing on Saturday night; Blank Page Empire, Mark This Day, Bright Light Parade, Love Out Loud, and Hyland. 

The competition was good, but we put on the best show of our lives, according to our fans that were able to make it.  We sound checked to “If You’re Happy and You Know It”.  We were the second band to play of the night and we had only 20 minutes to impress the judges.  Apparently it worked because we were the first band called up on stage when they announced the finalists!  It was so nerve-racking waiting to hear if we’d made it or not, and the most awesome feeling when we found out we placed!  We were the only band who played the first night of the tourney to place, which felt really good.  We won some great prizes for getting 3rd place including 30 hours recording time, graphic design and marketing packaging, spa treatment, gift cards, and best of all spots to play at Sonshine, WOW Fest (which we are already playing), and LifeLight!  So make sure you come see us play at these this summer!  Second place went to Love Out Loud, and Hyland won the tournament.

Although we feel really blessed to get 3rd place, the highlight of the tournament was when one of the judges, Amy Wolter, a performance coach with Tom Jackson studios, came up to us and said “In my eyes, you won.”  It doesn’t get any better than that!

We can’t thank our fans enough for coming out and supporting us Friday night and for singing along.  We couldn’t have done it without you!
