Estranged Individuals win Battle of the Bands at Milpitas Library

Moon Dough takes first place in the adult category

Estranged Individuals celebrate their victory in the teen category at the Battle of the Bands, held July 22 at the Milpitas Library. Members of the Milpitas-based band are Lucas Guzicki, left, on vocals and guitar, Mohamed Ibrahim on bass and Aiden Kawamoto on drums. (Photo by Mylene Stolpe/Charismatic Photography)

Teen and adult bands faced off live on July 22 at Milpitas Library at the Battle of the Bands produced by the Santa Clara County Library District.

With this second annual event, the district hoped to give a chance for these half a dozen bands to make an impression and maybe make it big, and to celebrate and encourage the local music scene in Santa Clara County.

The local bands competed in teen and adult categories. Interested bands first submitted their application online with an audition tape of one song. Over 5,000 votes from the community helped selected the top three bands in both categories to perform live. Each band invited to the showcase had 20 minutes on stage to wow the audience and the judging panel.

The teen division featured the Funky Monkeys, made up of Bradley and Zach on guitar, Josh on the drums and Isaac on piano. The Estranged Individuals, a Milpitas band, had Mohamed on bass, Aiden on drums and Lucas on vocals and guitar. Znnia took the stage playing the audience favorites from the ’80s to rock classics.

The adult division featured Charles Bronson & the Sundance Kid, a comedic experimental new wave duo based in the East Bay Area. Smokehouse and their lead vocalist Emma brought country rock to the auditorium, performing covers and originals. The last band of the night was Moon Dough, a Filipino cover band composed of Gavin, Christian, Yuri and Jude, whose set covered many musical genres.

Bands were judged by Juan Guzman, George Peter Tingley and Chris Dang for musicianship, stage presence and technical ability. Guzman is a professional mariachi musician with experience playing in jazz, classical and brass ensembles throughout his high school and college years. Tingley is a composer whose music has been heard on TV, in film and in concert performances; he served as composer for Olympic figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi in the 1990s. Dang is a Santa Clara County Library District employee who’s been playing guitar for 10 years and piano for 20.

Homeschooling – Milpitas Homeschool Support Group

I, Ann Zeise, your GoMilpitas webmaster, also had a very large and popular homeschooling website, A2Z Home’s Cool for over 2 decades. In 2017 I sold it to Time4Learning as the site had become too large for one person to run. I needed “staff.” In 2023 they removed to site from the internet, so I created this archive of the site from the Way Back Machine.

Locally, though. I continue to serve homeschool families in my area in California. For those in Milpitas considering homeschooling, check Should we homeschool independently during Covid-19?

On Facebook I have a page for Milpitas Homeschool Support – East Side Silicon Valley, California as well as the Milpitas Homeschool Support Group for discussing more private matters and field trip plans among ourselves. This is ONLY for families currently homeschooling from their home in Milpitas CA. If your profile says you live elsewhere, even San Jose or Fremont, your application for membership will be denied. If you are thinking about homeschooling, contact me directly.

On the page I post interesting, educational, and fun things for Milpitas and other area homeschool families to do. Just “Like” and “Follow” the page to the degree you want to see the ideas and events posted there. Those who “Like” the site are encouraged to also offer interesting activities. While I would like to offer a park day, there has not been enough interest. I’ll leave that up to someone else to organize. The Group cannot be viewed by others than members. It is a good place to talk about how you and your kids are fairing, without concern about your mother-in-law seeing the post.

Social Distancing Activities for Kids
Whether you have been homeschooling for years or find yourself “accidentally” homeschooling because of the pandemic, you may find it even more difficult to incorporate socialization into your school day. Parks and museums may not be options right now, but there are still some social distancing activities for kids that will allow socialization while safely social distancing.

Kite Flying at Ben Rogers Park
Kite Flying at Ben Rogers Park

If you’d like to come play at Ben Rogers Park on Wednesdays, please come. My home is on the west side of the park, the one with all the red geraniums you can see from the playground. If the dark gray Rav 4 is in the driveway, then I am home. Just knock on the door, and I’ll come out to join you. My homeschooled kid is now in his 30s, and hasn’t played in the park for decades. But this grandmother still likes to walk in the park, pet the dogs, and enjoy watching the children play. If you happen to have questions bout homeschooling, I’d love to do my best to answer, or point out resources. The park has picnic tables and barbecues, a sandlot with playground equipment, dog-friendly (with bags, leashes required), a geocache and tons of good Pokemon destinations. Plenty of space to fly a kite or drone.

If you’d rather call, our home phone is 408-823-8247. Leave a text message for a quick response.

Call me to ask me questions about homeschooling in California or text via Facebook, if you’d like, but ONLY if you live in California.

Here are some useful links for local homeschoolers.

Homeschool Rooms
While homeschooling can be done in any room, indoors or out, some families want to makeover the playroom into a place for learning and projects. Here are some ideas…and some that I have reviewed as to be avoided.

HomeSchool Association of California
First look at their Quick Guide to Homeschooling During a Crisis. It will give you all you need to know to get started and get in touch.

Starting to Homeschool
Families decide to homeschool for all sorts of reasons, and then often continue homeschooling simply because the freedom is so sweet and they like the affect it’s had on their children and family life. They like living joyfully with children.
