Sam wins big in Battle of the Bands!

Best Vocalist
Sam Verlinden Top Notch showman and First Rate singer who just keeps bringing home the 1st place awards.
This one pictured above, places him with top honors as Best Overall Lead Vocalist in “The Battle of the Bands” held last week.  Sam performed with his newly formed school band named R.E.P. which consists of 5 boys and 3 girls.
These kids really brought down the house with their version of the Classic Rock song Pinball Wizard!

R.E.P.   (Random Emanation Phil- harmonia) is a name that we must admit is truly original and creative. Members pictured left to right are Darcy, Jack, Elliot, Sam, Jordana, Alex, George (hidden), & Sela.
With the world of electronics pushing the old mechanical Pin Ball machines into extinction, I’m not sure that any of these kids have ever rocked a pinball machine to the tilt!  However thy really rocked their audience to the hilt!
