ITEM EXPLANATION:
On Saturday, January 26, 2008, the Recreation Department hosted the Teen Scene: Battle of the
Bands teen event at Stagecoach Community Park from 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. There was an
estimated attendance of over 600 people and participation from 34 teens in our Battle of the
Bands competition, 26 teens in our art exhibit, and eight teens in our video game competition.
This event featured the 5th annual Battle of the Bands competition where nine bands went head-
to-head for the title of "Carlsbad 2008 Battle of the Bands Champion." The audience was also
entertained with an electrifying demonstration by the Carlsbad Drum Corp.
The event also highlighted the artistic talents of teens in an art cafe and game room where they
displayed their school art projects and doodled on a graffiti wall that was provided by the
Department. Another area for teens to show off their talent was in the video game room. The
room consisted of two PS2 units dedicated to the Madden 2008 Football Tournament and two
PS2 units dedicated to free-play where attendees could compete in Guitar Hero and Need for
Speed.
Finally, in order to assist in the teens being able to express themselves physically, several rounds
of free-play dodge ball were coordinated throughout the event in the gym. Over 30 teens formed
two teams to compete against each other during the 10-minute long game while 15-20 teens
and parents cheered them on.
The Recreation Department sought out donations for the prize packs for our Battle of the Bands
Champion and Madden 2008 Champion. Several businesses supported the event with in-kind
donations at a value of one thousand seven hundred fourteen dollars ($1,714). Below is a list of
