Battle of the Bands<br />

Bands rocked Garden International School (GIS) at the<br />

annual Battle of the Bands event.<br />

Groups from GIS, REPS and St Andrew's played original<br />

songs and covers in GIS's newly-refurbished Main Hall.<br />

Fans cheered and danced as the musicians took to the<br />

stage, and produced some impressive guitar solos and<br />

singing.<br />

Judges included Mr Dom (Head of Secondary at<br />

REPS), Ms Jill (freelance punk rocker) and HyoJung<br />

(a Grade 8 pianist who recently finished her IB<br />

studies at GIS).<br />

After the judges had added together their scores, the winner was<br />

White Jack, who won an 8-hour recording session at Karma Sound Studio in Bang<br />

Saray (www.karmasoundstudios.com). Runners-up were Alphabeat and in third spot were<br />

Apollo. (The runners-up were given a five-hour session at Karma.<br />

Apollo also won the prize for best<br />

original song.<br />

Hot dogs sold at the event will<br />

go towards Operation Smile,<br />

which helps children born with<br />

cleft palates. So far the school<br />

has raised more than 30,000<br />

baht – more than enough to<br />

change several children’s lives.
