What an incredible night and what insane talent! Congrats again to all the winners and thank you to everyone who made this event possible.  As most of you know, the Davis Catalyst Center experienced a lot of technical difficulties during this event including not picking up any sound for the live recording. They also were not able to provide us with any video files of the competition. So, we are grateful for everyone who took the time to record parts of the competition and send them to us. We are also grateful for the members of Poolhouse who arrived early and worked like mad to help solve the technical difficulties that prevented us from having our sound check. Not only did John and the band members help troubleshoot the issues under immense pressure and a time crunch, but they stayed backstage to help the bands transition, and were still able to put on a high energy unforgettable performance. What a great example of leadership, team work, perseverance, and rolling with the punches...
