'Battle of the Bands' July 12

'Battle

of the Bands' July 12

The Peachtree

City Youth Council ironed out details for their premiere event, The Battle

of the Bands, recently at the home of spokesperson Shelby Barker.

The group finalized

their promotional flier and the design of their signature T-shirt. They

divvied up tickets and devised a marketing plan, which basically consists

of blanketing the city with fliers and selling tickets in various locations

throughout Peachtree City.

A resounding

cheer erupted when Mayor Brown called confirming that Union City Hummer

agreed to provide a Hummer to transport the group in this year's Peachtree

City Fourth of July parade.

The Battle

of the Bands, intended to attract Peachtree City teenagers, will be held

Saturday, July 12, at the Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater from 7-10:30

p.m. It will give PTCYC an opportunity to formally introduce themselves

to Peachtree City's youth, while offering a chance for camaraderie among

peers and a venue for listening to some great music.

Featured bands

will include Chopper John, Gravel Undertone, Ardency, Fairborn, and Antioch.

Atlanta-based radio station 99X will have a van present at the event,

providing giveaways and music between sets.

Tickets are

now on sale in advance for $3 at Back Stage Music, Deli Delicious, the

Peachtree City Library, the Kedron Field House and the Peachtree City

Recreation Department. Tickets may be purchased at the door for $5.

Fayetteville's

Tinseltown Movie Theater has donated free movie tickets as giveaway prizes.

PTCYC is still open to receiving more prize donations and will be happy

to provide promotional support to any companies interested in sponsoring

this event. Other sponsors include The Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater;

former mayor Bob Lenox; dentist Dr. Tim Kaigler; City Attorney Ted Meeker;

City Council members Annie McMenamin, Murray Weed and Dan Tennant; and

the Fayette County Chamber of Commerce's Elissa Hall. PTCYC is extremely

grateful to these sponsors for their contributions, which make this event

possible.

Deli Delicious

will handle concessions at the event and are considering adapting their

menu to better suit the discernable palates of teenagers. Foods such as

nachos, fries, chicken strips, sodas and candy may be the fare.

PTCYC came

together as a result of the "Youth and Adults Working Together to

Build Community" study sessions that commenced this past January.
