Loudoun-based band No Worries, comprised of Raquel Desouza, vocals; Kyle Wright, guitar; Ryan Babick, drums; Elijah Vaughn, bass; and Dominic Boykin, guitar, took their act to the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. on June 6, to compete in Bach2Rock's Battle of the Bands. The young musicians spoke about their influences and their reasons for picking up their instruments and joining the band. No Worries splits their practice time between Bach2Rock's South Riding location and Wright's home. Even though Desouza is the only member in high school - she'll enter 10th grade in the fall - which enabled them to participate in Saturday's high school competition, the rest of the members just finished their seventh-grade year. For the competition, the band performed "Up to the Roof" by the Blue Man Group and "Celebrity Skin" by Hole.
