By Taylor Heussner

On Saturday, the morning started out with the final round of the Band Contest. The four remaining groups, Chain Station Quartet, Ragged Union, Fireball Mail and Mile High Express, rang us into the late morning, with 2015’s winner, Lil Smokies, taking the stage right after. The winner Fireball Mail hails from Nashville and I wasn’t surprised to hear they took it all — their fast-paced and full vocals amplified the energy that freely flowed between one another.
