Dace’s Rock ‘n’ More Music Academy, located in Maple Valley and Redmond,  has moved on to the sweet 16 round of Redmond-based Hopelink’s sixth annual Can Madness competitive food drive, knocking off Flying Saucer Pizza in the first week of the tournament.

Last week, the 32 teams brought in a first-round record 7,445 pounds of food and $850 in cash for Redmond-based Hopelink’s five local food banks.

Rock ‘n’ More joins eight competitors from Redmond, three from Kirkland, two from Bellevue and one each from Seattle and Shoreline in Round II of the drive.

Hopelink Can Madness is patterned after the national spring college basketball tournament, matching businesses in weekly competitions to see which can bring in the most food.

Teams are bracketed together in pairs and one winner from each two-member bracket advances to the following week.

The competition will continue until the winner is announced April 3.
