🎙️ Battle of the Bands – Day 6 🎙️
Round Two continued today and the competition is really starting to heat up!
First up, “Fortunate Son” by Creedence Clearwater Revival marched past “Johnny B. Goode” in a matchup packed with classic rock power. Chuck Berry’s legendary guitar riffs put up a fight, but CCR’s protest anthem had the momentum and moves on to the next round. 🎸
Next, Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone” absolutely blew past “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” Bonnie Tyler brought the drama and the power ballad energy, but Kelly’s breakup anthem dominated the vote and cruised into the next round. 🎤
And in the final matchup of the day, Linkin Park’s “In the End” proved that it’s not the end just yet. In a tight battle with Blink-182’s “All the Small Things,” the votes came down to the wire, but In the End pulled it out and advances. 🤘
🎶 Looking ahead to today’s matchup…
We’ll find out just how many friends in low places Garth Brooks really has as “Friends in Low Places” goes head-to-head with Tyler Childers’ “All Your’n.” It’s a country showdown that could go either way!

🎙️ Battle of the Bands – Day 5 🎙️
Round One is officially in the books, and what a way to close it out!
First up, “Riptide” by Vance Joy rode a strong wave of support to take down Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida.” It was a tough matchup, but Riptide’s catchy rhythm carried it through to the next round. 🌊
Next, Linkin Park’s “In the End” proved that some songs really do stand the test of time, knocking out Simple Plan’s “Welcome to My Life.” The crowd showed up big for this one, and In the End moves on.
Then we headed to the country arena where Tyler Childers’ “All Your’n” lassoed up the win against Chris LeDoux’s “Hooked on an 8 Second Ride.” A solid country showdown, but All Your’n had just a little more horsepower. 🤠
And finally, the pop battle of the day saw Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” pull off the victory over Backstreet Boys’ “Backstreet’s Back.” A catchy hook and plenty of nostalgia helped push Call Me Maybe into Round Two. 📞

We’ve got TWO teacher song picks for you today… and some truly unforgettable reasoning behind them 😄
🎶 Song Choice #1: Home Among the Gumtrees by John Williamson
Here’s what this mystery teacher shared:
💬 “My inspiration for choosing this song all started when I came across a completely unexplained eucalyptus leaf in the staff parking lot…
We do not have eucalyptus trees anywhere near this school, or even this part of the country, yet, there it was. Just sitting there like it was judging my life choices.
A breeze hit. A locker slammed dramatically in the distance. Somewhere, a freshman confidently mispronounced ‘photosynthesis’. And in that exact cinematic moment, my brain softly whispered, ‘Give me a home among the gum trees…’
Now, most people would ignore that, but I am not MOST people.
Later the same day, the copier jammed four times, my coffee lid staged a minor rebellion, and someone asked me if Australia was ‘near Texas’.
At that point the idea of living quietly among the gum trees with a sheep or two felt extremely reasonable.
So this was an easy decision for me to choose this song.
If you’re wondering which teacher would interpret a rogue leaf as a life-altering sign and respond by choosing an Australian folk song… well.”
🎶 Song Choice #2: La Bamba by Ritchie Valens
And this teacher shared:
💬 “We played this for my dog when she turned 15 years old… at her quinceañera!” 🐶🎉
Now it’s your turn…
👉 Can you match the songs to the teachers?
