The 2nd Annual NEXT Bash Comes to the Max M. Fisher!

The NEXT Bash, formally known as the Project NEXT Bash, is back for the second year! After a stellar breakout year that saw honor roll students turn out in impressive numbers to celebrate education and academic excellence at the Palace of Auburn Hills in 2009, we are proud to announce that this year’s event will take place on July 10, 2010 at the majestic Max. M. Fisher Music Center.   


In its continuing effort to empower young minds, the Project NEXT initiative was created to help propel high school and middle school students toward academic excellence.

The NEXT Bash is a major concert event that was designed to reward students who maintain a 3.0 grade point average or higher. This initiative serves to reward students who maintain honor roll status while motivating and encouraging those who fall outside of these parameters to focus and try harder.
This year’s event will feature live performances by Boi, Dollah Jones, Newland, Roc Stea’D, SelfMeyi and Vina Mills in an electrifying display of musical showmanship and entertainment. 

“It is our desire to use this event to help give students that extra push to reach higher and higher to reach their educational goals each year,” said program facilitator Janaya Black. “After a great turn out last year and the overwhelmingly positive response that we’ve received from students and teachers alike this year, we really feel like this is something that will serve to help keep them motivated and focused. The ultimate goal is to make the event bigger and more exciting for them each year so that it will become something to shoot for all year long.” 

The NEXT Bash will take place at the Max M. Fisher Music Center on July 10, 2010. Doors will open at 7pm and the concert will begin at 8pm.  Ticket holding students must also bring their report card to verify 3.0 statuses and be accompanied by an adult. Due to tickets being general admission early arrival is strongly encouraged to ensure entry and seating. 

Parents who are interested in obtaining tickets for their honor roll students in grades 6-12 and their student’s school did not register for the program, may email their request to blacksmithenterprises@yahoo.com.  Requests will be honored while supplies last.

The NEXT Bash is sponsored by Pepsi, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, RL Entertainment, Star Factory, and Live the Music Group.

For more information please contact Janaya Black at blacksmithenterprises@yahoo.com or call 734-634-3151. Interview opportunities for the artists are also available for media personnel upon request.
