BATTLE
OF THE BANDS |
| BATTLE OF THE BANDS ...
In the spring of 1965 the Chardon Maple Festival
had it's first Battle of The Bands. This was a contest
started to showcase local talent. It was held in a tent
on the West side of the Geauga County Court House.
The Trolls won that first contest receiving the grand prize
of $50.00. We were given a spot in the big Maple Festival
Grand Parade and rode in a specially decorated truck
Mrs. Haueter fixed up for us. It was a great time in our lives
that still brings back many fond memories.
The group photo was taken at Burr Funeral Home on
South St. in their casket show room.
Many thanks to JAY BRINDO for the picture of
THE TROLLS and the brief history about the
Battle of the Bands!!
