The Land O' Lakes Library is THE place to be for all things not prom. You don't need a date, you don't need a fancy dress or tux, and you don't have to spend a ton of money. We'll be decorating with spoofs of prom decor, spiking the punch with Monster, and dancing to a DJ who will be spinning his own remixes plus your requests. How often do you get to hear what you want at a prom?
We'll also be smashing a disco ball pinata and crowning a reverse king and queen.
Best of all, it's free! How cool is that?
Friday, May 8th from 7:00-10:00pm.
Teens only. Refreshments provided.

Wow. That's about the only thing we can say about Rockus Maximus Retro: Battle of the Bands XII. If you missed it, we are sorry... very sorry.
On Friday, March 20th, our annual concert went off without a hitch at Crews Lake Park, drawing 600+ attendees. It was a hard-fought battle between our 8 bands, with Variance eventually emerging victorious, followed by Scilter, Tomatoes & Radio Wires, and The Distance. Glowsticks were everywhere, pizza and ice cream flowed like a mighty river, and fun was had by all. Very poetic, eh? No? Oh well, it was still a great night. We actually have a couple of BotB t-shirts remaining that survived the night. The numbers are very limited and only exist in M, L, and XL sizes. Stop by any library and purchase one today for only $10.
Check out our MySpace page for all the photos and videos from the event... coming very soon! If you have your own photos or videos, message us on MySpace with the link to where they are posted. As a little preview, here are our Battle winners for your viewing enjoyment. Click on the image for a full-size view.
Online Voting Winner. We had over 10,000 votes this year and Hippodrome came out on top!
Live Event Winner. Variance triumphed for a second year in a row. Congrats!
