We The People Join The Battle Of The Bands

As part of our Countdown to Halloween each October, Back to the Future (1985) is featured. After all, Marty McFly accidentally rocketed back to 1955 on October 26, 1985. This past year, Dean Brinkerhoff and I visited one of the real-life locations used in filming Back to the Future. The Olive Recreation Center located in Burbank California is home to a large basketball court. The scene in particular features Marty in a Battle of the Bands competition, where he and his band rock out for the school board. One of the administrators (Huey Lewis in a cameo performance) abruptly stops the music to inform Marty and the Pinheads that they’re just “too darn loud.”
