The coveted “golden guitar” trophy has new owners this year.

Dominion Energy’s Class 5 came out on top Saturday at the second annual Battle of the Corporate Bands, besting defending champions Glass House (WestRock) and Hunton & Williams’ 951 East.

The win was especially sweet for Dominion, as it was executive Dave Christian who played a part in the battle’s creation when he suggested the idea during a visit to Firehouse Theatre, which organizes the event and benefits from its proceeds.

Joining Christian in Class 5 were Virginia O’Meara on vocals, executive IT support specialist Steve Foster on bass, senior LAN administrator Josh Crump on guitar, company pilot Murray Blake on keyboard, and nuclear technician Rob Green on drums.
