In a matter of half an hour today, Spencer's band went from being rated #1 in the nation (in the college battle of the bands contest) to not even being on the screen. What a shame. It is very apparent that the bands that were getting beaten by The WhiteWall Gentlemen decided to sabotage the results and vote a low number for them. The contest now feels like a contest to see who can sabotage the results more so than who has good musical skill. And the band just keeps dropping in numbers everytime I check back.
But the band should keep their heads up. They were on top and got taken out because they were the best in the nation. It would have been a nice "trophy" to have, but I don't think it will matter in the long run.
I spoke to Spencer and told him that he is learning a good "life" lesson. The lesson is that you have to do the best that you can do and then be content that you have given it your all. If you go to bed at night and lay your head on the pillow and know that you have left no stone unturned and have given 100%, that's all you can do. Obviously, The WhiteWall Gentlemen have no control over other bands in New York or Boston or Seattle. Or their attempts to sabotage the band. They just need to keep producing their music and keep working hard to promote their band.
I just need to heed my own advice now.
