Battle of the Bands: first place with Master of Puppets

On April 5, 2025, my band played the Battle of the Bands at my school. It was an outdoor stage at night, with colored lights, a smoke machine and a lot of families watching.

We played three songs: Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns N' Roses, Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne and Master of Puppets by Metallica. I played guitar.

Master of Puppets was our last song. It is more than eight minutes long and fast the whole way through, so there is a lot to keep together as a band. That is the one that won first place in the middle school division.

It was hard to win, and we worked for a long time.

All three songs are below. Master of Puppets is the one that won.
