Bob - This is Shane at Battle of the Bands for Bingham High School in October. He is the keyboard player in the band
This Way to the Exit. These first two pictures of them were taken during the competition at their school.

The band includes his friends Logan on guitar, Kevin on bass, Eric on drums and Colton on vocals. They placed third at this competition, but since the first and second place bands had too many members that were older than the regulation limit of 19,
This way to the Exit got to go on to the regional competition. Their band has 4 sophomores and 1 junior. They had to perform 1 cover song and 1 original song of their own.

This is the regional competition that was held Feb. 6th at another local school. It was called a multi-regional competition because there were 10 bands from 10 high schools in the Salt Lake area and also a band from Provo. The top three bands from this competition won a trip to the state competition and also a chance to record their music at a local recording studio.

There were about five bands that were really good. The other five weren't so great. Being the pessimists that we are, Lisa and I tried to brace Shane for the possibility that they would not make it on to State. At the end of the night they read off the names of the three band that would advance to the state competition. The first two band called were the band from Riverton High and the band from Timpview High in Provo. The third band called was
This Way to the Exit and we were so excited we all jumped up and started screaming. We couldn't believe that they had done it! Shane gave us a hard time for doubting. The State competition will be held on March 15th and we will let you know how they do.!

Congratulations Shaner...now you need to practice really hard and win State and really make believers of those doubting Thomases.
