My daughter entered for the first time this year and has been named a finalist for the < 18 category. Judges will name a top 3 through critical voting and there is a public voting category as well. If some fellow alums/board members would like to vote for her, here is a link http://hitlikeagirlcontest.com/contestants/annapurna-tobler/.

Damn. That's unreal. I play guitar in a band that plays that song. It's not an easy song by any means. She freaking kills it. Better than my drummer for sure.
 
Thanks everyone. I'll bump a few more times before the contest ends. Thanks much for your support.
 
I straight up read this thread title as "Hit a Girl like a Drum."
 
Damn. Crushed it. V impressive.

I was that Museum of Pop Culture w/Cookout a few weeks ago and we tried to cover this song on guitar/drums in the sound rooms they have. My Rock Band 3 experience didn't translate enough (though TBH I always struggled with the song in Rock Band, too).
 
Wow! Really impressive! I registered, just to vote for your girl. I can't imagine how proud you must be!
 
Wow terrific and she is confident and clearly having a blast. She has a lifetime of joy ahead of her. Congrats
 
Holy shit, that girl rocks. Big ups. Voted.
 
The next Elaine Bradley; loved it!

Surprised the lib muff-divers in Asheville haven't had a hissy over the name of the contest; every bit as "bad" as the jewelry store ad for being o.k. to throw "rocks" (diamonds) at girls.

If she keeps learning, she may have to form the ultimate girl rhythm section with bassist Tal Wilkenfeld. :)

I don't really think the names are similar at all. It's trying to change the meaning behind "Hit like a girl" to prove that girls (and women) are badasses. Making it a positive instead of a negative.

A little different than encouraging throwing rocks at girls, which has all sorts of intimate partner violence implications at it's worst, and doesn't really say anything positive at it's best.

But whatever... this is just distracting from the overall point of the thread. Awesome video and I voted!
 
Thanks all for the positive feedback -- I'll be sure to pass it along!
