The teen event, which over 100 people attended last year, is set to take place from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7 in the library's Community Hall. Anyone aged 13-19 in the San Francisco Bay Area can audition, but only four bands will have the chance to grace the stage. Over $200 in prizes will be awarded as well as prizes from such sponsors as Red House Studios in Walnut Creek and local stores including Lamorinda Music, Campana Music and Mighty Fine Guitars. Radio station Live 105 will make a return appearance. Part of the grand prize includes being the opening band at a Red House Studios performance. There will also be raffle prizes and Walnut Creek-based food trucks, Tonli Dumpling and United Bites. The judge lineup this year includes Alexa Heine, who is the lead singer of last year's winning band, Wild Guess, and local professional musicians Christopher Shirley, Jeff Kalmbach and Matthias. Email your audition video to pbrogan@ccclib.org by 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Oct.18 for your chance to get out of the garage and finally on to the stage.
