Organizer Rachel Lampen says: \u201cThe competing bands work so hard and it\u2019s an important time of year to raise money and encourage community spirit. It\u2019s a huge production and I want to personally thank Todd Grosberg for sound, the judges for giving up their time and to Jen and Jay, Owners of Gates Restaurant for putting their trust in me five years ago. Everyone plays an integral part.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
