So you're in a band, and your band is made of 100% pure awesome. Want to prove it... and maybe win some studio time?
The Hillsborough County Parks, Recreation, and Conservation (PRC) Department is seeking bands to compete in the 13th Annual Teenage Battle of the Bands. Band members must be between the ages of 13 and 20. The Battle will be held in November at the Hillsborough County Fair, so you have plenty of time to practice and perfect your powers of rock.
If your band has what it takes, call Joe Soletti of PRC at 813.376.5778 to sign up.
Hillsborough County needs teens to help create a bully-free community. Hillsborough County’s new Anti-bullying Youth Advisory Subcommittee is recruiting members to work with the County’s Anti-Bullying Advisory Committee (ABAC).
The County’s newly-formed Anti-Bullying Advisory Committee has begun work to help stop bullying in Hillsborough County. The Bully Busters campaign is gaining strength and several projects are underway to bring more public awareness to the bullying problem in the county and help create a bully-free Hillsborough County.
Members of the Anti-Bullying Youth Advisory Subcommittee will be invited to participate in the monthly meetings of the ABAC and provide input into decisions. Subcommittee members will play a critical role in providing the ABAC members with a first-hand perspective on bullying and will help identify important issues around bullying in Hillsborough County.
Help create a change and have your voice heard. Anyone interested in applying for the Youth Subcommittee should call Callie Lackey, Children’s Services, at 813-264-3807 X120, or Carol Michel, Criminal Justice, at 813-276-2033.
