Battle of the Bands over!

Whoah what a weekend!
We arrived in Wellington at half five, and found the church. The soundcheck was at 6, which went well.
The show started at 7:00. There were three bands counting us. One of them , called Neon Adder went on first. They were heavy metal screamo.... man it was loud. (personally they were quite bad) I didn't hear a single word in the entire two songs!
When that was finally over, the next band, Flamingo Pink came on. They had a pink flamingo on their drumset. Apparently they found it in a garden! Haha awesome. They were real country.
Then we went on!
It was such an epic show! We kicked off with "Moonlight Shadows," which went awesome. Especially in the solo when Dan got them clapping! Jords timed his jump perfectly and we went hardout back into the last chorus. It felt sooo good. It was amazing.
Then we did "Not Forsaken," (Fight for Something that's Worth Everything), which went okay except the opening - Dan got out of time with Jords and me but we covered it up good.
Oh and Catherine came! It was good seeing someone outside the family come. Thanks!
So the judges did their results, and came onstage. They said a couple of negative things about Neon Adder, one or two about Flamingo Pink, and nothing bad about us! :)
The hardest part was waiting for the final decision. Turns out Neon adder won. I reckon they thought we'd have more chances cause we're young - and Neon Adder were all about 20 and didn't have as much chances. But thats okay. And one of the judges said I was a good as drummer! :)
Still, lots of people came up to us and told us how good we were. Pete (the main guy) said it was good having guys so young turning up and playing. And Neon Adder's drummer thought we were amazing.
We stayed the night at a friends house then left today and got back at about 4:30.
Far it was sooooooooooo awesome though. I lovelovelove being onstage!
Beka got some awesome pictures which we'll stick on our blog when we get the chance to.
It was such a mint night!
