Asilomar 2008
This year's program-sponsored "fun-time" activity was the first annual Rock Band competition, and it was a hit!

The four bands were Chimera (Kacey Sachen, Jake Fathman, Michael Birnbaum), the Mile High Club - MHC (Michael Wong, Luis Zuniga, Oliver Crespo, Pearline Teo), TIL the end (Olivia Hatton, Aleishia Harris, Lu-En Wai, Lori Phillips), and C3b and the Breakdown Products (Peter Choi, Andrew Girvin, Angela Landrigan, Ken Schulz).
Song lyrics:
