Last night was Benedictine’s Battle of the Bands—so naturally, the ROOK gang has one important question:
Who won?
The answer turns out to be a little more complicated than the scoreboard.
There was competition onstage, but backstage there were cables to share, amps to move, equipment to fix, and bands helping one another get through the night.
Maybe that’s the funny thing about a “battle.”
Sometimes the best part is that everybody showed up to make the music.
ROOK is a daily original college newspaper comic about friendship, faith, growing up, and the strange, funny, meaningful experience of college life.
A new ROOK appears every day at noon CST.
