iRock for Hunger Battle of the Bands Finals Results

Last nights inaugural iRock for Hunger Battle of the Bands was unbelievable. It featured three of Orlando’s newest rising bands Black Ship Sky, Johnny Plastic and the Rubber Band, and Pop Suicide. The winner of the competition was decided by whoever had the highest point total from two different categories of points. The first was the giving point system, where bands got points for Fundraising for the cause, food drive items, wearing the shirt, and volunteering their time to the organization. The second point category which was implemented for the final round was the judges portion. The bands were judged on Song writing, Stage Presence, Crowd Participation, Merch Presentation, and promotion.

Pop Suicide started the night of with a fantastic set, but unfortunately came nowhere close to its competition. However, Johnny Plastic and the Rubber Band, and Black Ship Sky were AMAZING!!! Both bands gave their full dedication to the cause raising lots of funds, and brining in a truck load of food. Both bands greatly entertained the crowds with their fantastic performances. It was an extremely close race to the finish in every category. Too bad there can be only one winner, but very great we still have two open slots at Rock for Hunger Fest 3. That’s right, the winner of the Battle of the Bands was promised to open up the main stage at this year’s event, but we never said that hard work will be unrewarded. We reserved an open slot at the Bud Light Stage (2nd Stage) at Rock for Hunger Fest 3 just to see what happened last night. Our committee has decided to have both the winner of last nights competition, BLACK SHIP SKY, and JOHNNY PLASTIC & THE RUBBER BAND at ROCK FOR HUNGER FEST 3. Black Ship Sky won the overall competition with being the leading point leader in the giving category. However, Johnny Plastic & the Rubber Band did have the highest point total in the Judges Category.
