Winners from Boardman’s Battle of the Bands performed at Jillian’s in the Southern Park Mall Feb. 12.

High schoolers, parents and Jillian’s spectators all watched and listened as each band performed several musical selections.

Sinful Faith were the highlighted act. They won the band battle Jan. 16 at Boardman High School and were also selected as the fan favorite. They competed at the House of Blues Jan. 30 against other Ohio bands. They didn’t make the finals, but their performance was a big accomplishment.

Burkley and Hold No Grudge also graced the stage in Jillian’s with live performances.
