This Cox signature event showcases Southern Arizona high-school/college-aged musicians and promotes music as safe and healthy drug-free activity.

Four local bands have been selected as semi-finalists: Tha Illegals, Hecker, Kool Shades, and Less Than Famous details below (each comprised of band members between the ages of 13-20). All of the bands will be performing live at PLUSH on Dec. 14, and ticket sales will benefit Cox Charities and youth education programs in Southern Arizona. Portions of each of the bands' performances will be captured for a special television show to air on Cox7-AZ from Dec 16-31.

Concert-goers will have the opportunity to vote on-site for their favorite band. Online voting, hosted by MTV2, will also be open on music.cox.net from Dec 15-Dec 31. The winning band will be invited to perform at the Tempe Music Festival, March 30-31, 2007, along with other local and national performing acts.
