Member of the winning band Don’t Ever Tell rock out.

Battle of the Bands, an event where local bands gather to compete against one another, was held in the auditorium on November 19.

“It went pretty well.” said senior class vice president Michael Smith “It could have been better, but people don’t want to show up to events (held) by the senior class, which is a shame because we are trying to raise money and have an event where people can have fun with friends.”

The senior class scheduled the event in hopes of raising money to help pay for future senior events.

“It raised over $400 and the money will help pay for prom and a senior trip,” said senior class co-president Katarina Johnson.

Battle of the bands included rock and roll bands as well as guitar players and a couple of vocalists. The winner of Battle of the Bands was Don’t Ever Tell, a rock and roll band whose members are from Eastern High School, LCC, and Central Michigan. As reward for their win they received a cash prize.

“We were diggin the mix of styles. It demonstrated a lot of diversity in the music of Lansing,” said Don’t Ever Tell band member Casey Chahine. “We are working on a song right now called Secrets Out. It will be available very soon.”

If you would like to hear more music from Don’t Ever Tell, they will be performing at the 97.5 annual Snowstock event held at the Small Planet on December 19.

“Playing alongside mainstream radio acts is a real honor,” said Chahine “It feels like we’re throwing the first pitch at a major league game, except with guitars.”
