ARC Battle Group A Round 2 Scoring (Supportlocal)

Busy day for me getting everything caught up with this! You guys get two posts in one day! So the scoring for the ARC Battle is in for each band... All scores are out of 100 so here we go! For more detailed results, please visit arcbattle.com.

#1- Fallen Affliction- 90.67
- These guys were clearly the best of the best on Friday and deserve the win. The stage presence clearly put these boys over the top!

Victor Ranking- #1

#2- Arkham Awaits- 87
- In my opinion, it was a toss up between these guys and Clearpoint. While the audience participation was subpar in the score breakdown, they killed it with their professionalism and musicianship. They deserve to advance

Victor Ranking- #2 (tie)

#3- Clearpoint- 86
- Apparently, the ARC judges agree with me! The thing that hurt Clearpoint was the musicianship, which could have been the vocals cutting in and out that I preluded to in my report featured below this one. If these guys keep plying their craft, they will be a force to be reckoned with locally as they are still young guys. No favoritism, I swear :)

Victor Ranking- #2 (tie)

#4- Sea Bugs- 76

These guys are a raw group and shouldn't be ashamed of their score at all. The other three just took care of the small things very well, something most young bands fail to do just based off of inexperience. If they keep plugging away and take the time to observe what the more seasoned bands are doing, they could be a band to watch in a couple of years.

Victor Ranking- #4

#5- Orso- 65.67

This score looks lower than I think it should be. Then again, I have no idea how professional they were or how bonus points are truly marked. They do need to work on stage presence and audience participation and those are the things that killed these guys off in the scoring (also bonus points). Still, despite the score they put on a good show and shouldn't be ashamed of their performance. Young bands usually have to work out kinks and if they learn from this and work on their weaknesses, they could do good things.
