This year, the Oak Forest Youth Commission hosted two separate competitions for local teen musicians, one live at the festival and one online.
The winner of the live “Battle of the Bands” competition was Loaded Motive, who now moves on to a regional competition. Bands were judged on a variety of criteria ranging from appearance, originality, energy/movement, musicianship, song structure and complexity. It was an extremely close competition with a mere few points separating the top two bands.
The second competition was an online popularity poll in which Albatross won with 319 votes (35%). Loaded Motive came in second with 269 votes (30%) and Fox Country came in third with 95 votes (11%).
Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Teen Tent as well as the online poll!
