To return to perform May 23

The Arlington rock band Spare Change was one of five bands performing at the Center of the Arts in Natick on Sunday, April 27, as finalists in a Rock Showdown, an eastern Massachusetts high school Battle of the Bands. The performances were judged by Berklee College of Music faculty.

The faculty's role was not to pick the best of the five bands, but to grant one  performer from each band a $2,000 to Berklee College of Music’s Summer Program.

Will Seligson, guitarist, won the award for Spare Change. Seligson, a Pine Ridge Road resident, also performs in Arlington High School’s Jazz Band.

All members of Spare Change are sophomores. The contest began with 40 bands submitting CDs, from which 12 were chosen to perform in semifinal contest. The winners of those contests were invited to the April 27 finals.

Spare Change has been invited back to TCAN to perform May 23. The other members of the band, all AHS sophomores, are Charlie Ekhaus, drums; Simon Ginet, vocals and guitar; and Jackson Kusiak, bass and vocals.
