REVIEW:

The BATTLE FOR TEXAS
Houston Regionals - Halloween Weekend

Greetings:

First of all let me thank everyone that participated in The Battle for Texas. This includes all Bands, Judges, Sponsors, Special Guest performers and of course...
Keith & Joyce Gilley that made the event memorable. The Gilley's name is a piece of Houston History known world-wide.

After looking back and considering the event, all bands performed exceptionally well and there was not one act that was not well above average to excellent. Every act was very well prepared. I believe this is why the judges had so much fun and commented at the event that they thoroughly enjoyed the variety of music on both days. But I assure you it was a difficult task for them to choose the best of everyone. Fortunately, the judging system I utilize puts all judges in an objective place to make it as simple a task as possible rather than rely on a simple like or dislike of a music style or performance.

Also note the Sunday judges were different from the Saturday "Country Music" judges and never knew the scores of the country acts from the night before.

As far as judging is concerned, I will always adhere to this system of competition. No one wins a winner by applause competition except the band with the most fans present at the end of the night. This is not to say don't enter these types of events, this says enter it for reasons other than winning or be prepared to sell a lot of tickets to your fans and get into the last two spots of the night...

I have already received thank you letters from several bands and I appreciate the kind words. In general the event went flawlessly from an operational point of view and I am quite pleased at how supportive all of you were to other bands. This includes members of the Damen Austin Band offering (without being asked) an amplifier cabinet to a band that needed one and members of 76 Mile Band allowing an act to borrow an acoustic guitar when their guitar was not functioning properly on Saturday night. True Pro's everyone!

As we begin to expand the B4T to other cities like San Antonio or Dallas please feel free to participate anytime. You do not have to live in a city to participate there. Also, winning the competition is not always THE GOAL to participate in an event such as this. Many do it for the experience and what better way to gain a fan base in another city than to participate in an event such as this. It also connects you to clubs in other cities when you are ready to expand beyond Houston.

Remember, the winner of our last event came in from Lake Charles, LA. She was a 16 year old singer/songwriter and piano player. Very talented and now at The Univ of Texas in Austin (Breanna Fye). If Breanna Fye keeps it up, you'll hear more from her in the future.

I'm moving from Los Angeles to Katy, Texas very soon, and I'm pretty bummed about losing out on the music scene that we've become apart of here. Losing our studio and friends that make music. So....Anyone out in the Houston area interested in forming a hip-hop band that defies genre categories? I'm talking about a hip-hop/alternative rock/funk...what have you. I'm thinking in terms of L.A. based group J*Davey, Gnarls Barkley, Sa-Ra...

I'm 24 year old female that sings, and my partner is 25 and he raps. We write music and he does some production work, so we're looking for other talented producers, guitarists, drummers, any and all. We'll create together, push the boundaries of music, do some gigging, let's see what happens! Let me know!
