To see if the bands could present a wide range of musical skills, the teachers asked them each to prepare two songs: one song with original words, and another in which students played instrumental music only The judges finally chose the band Four Square as the winner of the contest Four Square is a rock band with an unusual twist: it includes a violin player!
