I rise today to recognize and congratulate The Plot on
being chosen the best band in the Province.
The Plot is a Port aux Basques rock and alternative
band who won the provincial Battle of the Bands
competition at the Gander Arts and Culture Centre in
March. Along with the title of best in the Province,
they also brought home a $1,000 cash prize for
themselves. They plan to invest their winnings in new
musical equipment.
The band consists of lead singer Nicholas Billard,
bass player Shannon Strickland, lead guitarist Bradley
LeRiche and drummer Ryan Taylor. They are all students
of St. James’ Regional High School at Port aux
Basques.
The band members have been playing together for over
a year and they have also won the Idol competition for
the past two succeeding years in that area. Ryan Taylor
writes most of the band’s songs and the group
performed four of their original songs at the battle
competition. Their concentration is now on making a
demo.
Mr. Speaker, I ask all members of this House to join
with me in extending congratulations to The Plot on
receiving this prestigious award.
Thank you. |
