Bands Bracket: Final Four

We’re almost there folks. After starting with 16 bands, we’re down to the last four. And unlike this year’s NCAA tournament, there aren’t any Cinderalla stories. All four bands were also based out of Virginia, with 3 of the 4 having ties directly to our great alma matter.

JMU’s own Puddleduck had the smallest margin of victory of any of our remaining contenders, but still prevailed in a blowout over Emmet Swimming. Thank you for that by the way. They’ll be facing off with Agents of Good Roots in the Blue Fox Regional Final. Agents by the way is quite possibly my favorite band ever to have a lead singer who sounds like he got stabbed in the throat with a ski pole.

And the two bands squaring off to win the JM’s Region and advance to the finals are the Dave Matthews Band and another of JMU’s finest, Everything. While this might appear like a bit of a David vs Goliath situation, you have to consider that for a time in the mid-90s, Everything was actually a pretty big deal in their own right. And despite the fact that the late LeRoi Moore of DMB went to JMU, Everything has got to be considered the home team in this one.
