It’s a Battle of the Bands at South Hill Mall! Well, kinda. It’s a Battle of the Bands, minus the bands. South Hill Mall is hosting a sing off for local choirs and ensembles with three or more people in their group this coming Saturday, Oct. 18 at 12 noon inside the Macy’s Court. They’re encouraging all nonprofits such as churches and schools to gather their teams and head into the depths of Puyallup to win cash prizes from $250-$1000. That’s a lot of money! Do you know how many Orange Juliuses and Abercrombie shirts one could buy with one thousand dollars?

Even if you’re not in a school or church ensemble, I suggest you gather the only two friends you have and dust off those vocal chords â€" the people of South Hill Mall need you. Even if you were not into singing I’d say the trip down Hwy. 512 would be well worth the gas just to witness the talent.

Registration starts at 11 a.m. this Saturday, so assemble your rusty version of “Bitches Ain’t S***” now before it’s too late.
