Willowbrook hosts annual Battle of the Bands

On Jan. 15, seven bands competed in Willowbrook’s Battle of the Bands event.

The competition is hosted annually by the school’s Key Club, and this year’s winning band was Aiming for Average. As the winner, the band received a free recording session courtesy of Kevin Mucha of Coerce Recording Studio in Villa Park.

To be eligible to compete in Battle of the Bands, participants must be younger than 21 years old, submit lyrics before the competition and have at least one member who attends Willowbrook.

The event raised about $300, and proceeds will benefit Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.
