I had heard bits & pieces of this story, or other versions of it ["Punk band ruins Prom"], but had no idea it happened in ... MONTANA!!!

Rose said at one point during the evening, an administrator at the school ran up to the band waving a check and yelling "stop. Just stop. Please just leave."
The incident resulted in the school adopting a new policy for future dances, requiring bands and students to agree on the type of music to be played before a contract is signed.
Rose said that Just Ducky didn't stay together very long, breaking up after they all graduated from Hellgate High School at the end of the year. He went on to Seattle to play with other bands, helped form the Missoula Community Chorus in 2001, and worked at Sun Mountain Sports in Missoula for more than 20 years. He said the Hot Springs event didn't discourage him from his music career. And
Steve Albini, the bass player for Just Ducky, went on to be a music producer and performer.
H/T to my friend Jon Solomon at WPRB Princeton for bringing this up on his show last night
