Rogers High Teens Take Meeker Prize

Clear the Chaos, a band based in Puyallup, has won the Meeker Days Battle of the Bands. Each of the five members of the band attends Governor John R. Rogers High School in Puyallup, and the band has been together since October 2010. They range from 16-18 years old. Despite lead singer Dalton Rouse’s guitar strap coming undone in the last song, Clear the Chaos engaged the audience and moved to the music. Visit their website here.

As reward for winning, CTC will receive a free banner, is guaranteed to open next year’s Battle, and will join this year’s Live It Out Loud eight-week summer music program, sponsored by Ted Brown Music Company.

CTC was one of four bands selected to play in the final round. First runner-up was Oaklawn, second was Fistful of Dollars, and third was Fall Days. Each band has a public Facebook page.
