Nearly 200 people enjoyed creative, original music at the annual Cedarcrest Battle of the Bands April 21. Seven bands, all younger than 21, came from Snoqualmie, Sammamish, Bellevue, Carnation and Duvall.
Music ranged from the Pink Floyd-esque sounds of CHS’s The Paramounts to Ithaca’s indie rock from Mount Si, to the danceable grungy reggae of Duvall’s That’s Cashed.
