Element Teams with The Collective Sound Music Academy
Element Skateboards is pleased to announce its partnership with The Collective Sound (TCS) Music Academy's Rock & Roll Summer Music Camp, as part of Element Skateboard's 2007 Youth Movement Coop Tour (YMC Tour). Along with Venus Infers, The Shimmies, Aubrey Debauchery, and other musical guests, kids from the TCS program hit the stage in San Francisco, July 24th at Embarcadero and Market, Orange County at the Camp in Costa Mesa, July 25th, and Ocean Beach Skate Park in San Diego, July 27th.
Skate demos by the Adaptive Action Sports team and Element skaters will help round out the stops. Also on hand will be the “Big” art project curated by Beck(y) City founder and Element Eden Advocate Beck Hickey.
The tour is the final leg in TCS’s intensive, three-week ‘life in a band’ simulation, where youth write, record, perform and shoot music videos under mentors from bands and the music industry, including special guests from Capitol Records, MTV, Vmix, ASCAP and more.
Proceeds from this collaborative youth cultural and action sports event will support TCS’s new after school music programs, set to start in Spring 2008, as well as Adaptive Action Sports and Elemental Awareness.
“The Tour is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to give students the chance to access live audiences and venues. It's also a great chance for them to participate in events like the Element YMC Tour that bring awareness to social, cultural, and environmental issues for youth today,” says TCS Camp Founder, Zac Smith.
The Collective Sound (TCS) is a non-profit organization with a goal to present youth of varying socio-economic and cultural backgrounds with an authentic experience in musical performance, recording and touring through the vehicle of rock, electronic and popular music.
