I discovered this band of young musicians through a friend who told me about the PNE competition, all the members are 12 years old!   The band consists of Harrison Ivaz (singer/songwriter/guitarist), Benjamin Renert (bass/vocals), and Arthur Phillips (drums). Check out their music video for their anti bullying song Sweet and Sunny.

Good luck in the competition fellas!
