The University of Tampa’s budding band, 20/20 Boulevard faced a big disappointment on Sunday when the Party in the Park 2010 was canceled due to inclement weather.
The band, formed in October of 2009, had been looking forward to opening up for Slightly Stoopid since their victory at Battle of the Bands.
They were “surprised and somewhat caught off-guard” when they were announced as the winners and saw the prospect of opening for the popular band as an “amazing opportunity.”
Senior and drummer Victor Quinones was “really looking forward to the crowd response more than anything.”
The four had been working on some new material and had hoped to showcase it in front of the large audience expected for the concert.
Fans of 20/20 shared in the bands disappointment on Sunday, when they showed up wearing their newly printed band shirts.
Amber Miller, sister of lead guitarist, Keith Miller, explained that “the boys are not just bandmates, they are brothers. 20/20 is giving them opportunities and responsibilities they never had before.” Though disappointed with the outcome on Sunday, she said she “can’t wait to see what happens next.”
The band is looking forward to upcoming shows and encourage fans to check out their Facebook page “20/20 Boulevard” for performance dates, pictures, and updates.
