Guitar Hero Competition

By: Storm Rottman

Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

GUITAR HERO!


Throughout the month of August, contestants came into Hot Licks to show what they had at Guitar Hero. With every week came a new chance at a different song to improve their score. At the end of the try outs, the top 16 were chosen to participate in the finals tournament on August 30th. As the hour for the competition drew closer, the guitar section became filled of the contestants and their fans.


So they began. Up on stage in front of many, they battled in a single elimination process, the players dueling with the winner moving on to the next round. 16 were eventually reduced to the final two as they fought for their prize. At the end of it all, there was a victor and several runner-ups. It was a good turn out, and we thank everyone for coming and showing their support. Hopefully, we look forward to continuing this in the future.

1st Place: Squire electric pack with amp (and accessories), month free of guitar lessons, t-shirt (Aaron Simon)

3rd Place: $15 gift cert, two free lessons, t-shirt, Sam Grow CD (Jamie Ren)

It just wouldn't be the same without the adoring fans!!!
