Walk into any classroom on the McCallum campus and it’s a safe bet that at least one of the students is a musician or in a band. This makes the annual Battle of the Bands competition a must-attend event for many of the school’s students — even more so because the winner and the runner-up get to perform at one of Austin’s most famous live music venues, Hole in the Wall. I interviewed the members of one of these lucky bands, Daydreamer, shortly after their performance at Hole in the Wall. Battle of the Bands had boosted their image on campus, and though we hadn’t planned to feature them in our third issue, we made adjustments to meet their growing popularity. This story serves as a reminder of how important it is to write about what interests our readers — students.
