Battle of the Bands - 2005

One thing I'm continually impressed with is Central's commitment to reaching youth. I spent a few years around a youth group during my own highschool years. It lead to some of the most significant experiences of my life.

Central is doing some incredible things in this area. Making it clear to youth accross the valley that the door is always open, and providing activities like this battle05_01.jpfor friends to invite friends.

This event was judged by none other than "Jimmy Eat World", drawing a huge crowd, bands, and fans from many different highschools.

Lots of kids.




Some cooperation from the City of Mesa.








The show rocked.




The winners posing with the judges.






Did I mention there was a car involved? Oh yea. One lucky kid won this car, free and clear. She ate a cold cow's heart to seal the deal, but it's a sweet car - for free. Who can blame her?
