See you at the Fresh Coast Classic

The Fresh Coast Classic crowned AJ of Milwaukee, Wisconsin the Guitar Hero Champion after a duel with fellow gamer Carlos that included the lowering of the Jumbotron and rocking out to Guitar Hero World Tour in a huge arena! The Fresh Coast Classic and the Midwest Gaming Classic crowned AJ of Milwaukee, Wisconsin the Guitar Hero Champion after a duel with fellow gamer Carlos that included the lowering of the Jumbotron and rocking out to Guitar Hero World Tour in a huge arena that has hosted concerts with bands such as Green Day and Rob Zombie!  If there was ever a time that someone was a true Guitar Hero, it was in this awesome tournament! AJ and Carlos stood out as the best players in a pack that was very competitive!  On Friday, they qualified for the finals and then on Saturday they came back to make it through a competitive semi-finals to reach the big time! At the break between the two Fresh Coast Classic games on Saturday, these two Guitar Heros stood in the wings as the arena darkened and the music from 2001: A Space Odyssey blasted across the arena and the JumboTron was lowered to just 15 feet above the court.  If that wasn’t nerve wracking enough, Craig Carson from 103.7 KISS FM was on hand to introduce the players and the song they would be competing on. After our third place winner Jim was announced, AJ and Carlos took the stage and played head to head against each other on the song The Wind Cries Mary from Jimi Hendrix with the music blaring through the arena sound system.  At the end of the song, AJ was the winner who rocked the most, scoring himself a four pack of tickets to the 103.7 KISSmas bash, Bucks tickets and a prize pack for the Midwest Gaming Classic! We hope to see everyone who we met at the Fresh Coast Classic at the Midwest Gaming Classic, and again next year for a couple days of basketball and family fun at the Fresh Coast Classic!
