In the spirit of trying new things, our group, Natural Disaster, signed up for the Joplin Boomtown Days Battle of the Bands competition and was selected as one of the nine bands to perform beginning 5:30 p.m. Friday, June 12, at Landreth Park. This comes from the Boomtown Days website:
Nine regional bands have been selected to perform Friday night at Boomtown Days.
Almost Higher (rock) - Joplin
Watershed (alt. rock) - Neosho
Bright Young Things (rock) - Carterville
Me Like Bees (probably rock...probably) - Joplin
Sensational Showmen (60's, 70's R&B, rock, Chicago covers, 9 piece horn band) - Joplin
Natural Disaster (rock, country, oldies) - Granby
Offset Sunset (indie, accoustic, pop) - Webb City
River James Band (christian blues, classic rock) - Neosho
Velvet Poker Dogs (rock, R & B) - Joplin
When I started checking out the other bands on the internet, I was surprised to discover the first band on the list, Almost Higher, features one of my eighth grade students, Nate Brummer, as vocalist, as well as two former students. I began worrying about just how much older Natural Disaster is than the rest of the competitors, but it appears that two other groups are roughly in our age range.
I will post more information when it becomes available.

Natural Disaster's next performance will be next Saturday, June 6, 4 to 5:15 p.m. at Central Park in Carthage for the annual American Cancer Society Relay for Life.
