Editor's note- Growing up in Bates County during the early 80's meant going to every dance at the youth building when Breakaway was playing. Myself, like many others, have a lot of good memories of going to the Breakaway dances and it's great to see the band still together, sounding better than ever. Congrats on 30 years!
