As the heat index rose, the drops of sweat dripping down the musicians faces were more than just from the heat. The crowning of the first ever the One 2 Beat ultimate bandoff champion came down to just a few points. Terra Nova was crowned as the first ever the One 2 Beat champion of the ultimate bandoff held at Blue Springs Baptist Temple,

Blue Springs Baptist Temple hosted the first ever bandoff event, Saturday, August 4. The event provided an outlet for teen bands to showcase their talents through this battle of the bands. Two bands battled for this title. Terra Nova, a teen alternative rock band started the evening with a couple of original songs. They rocked the stage and the ground. Bethany, a Christian band came to the stage strong and ready to battle as Terra Nova looked on. The noise erupted from the audience as both bands exited the stage, leaving the judges with a tough task ahead of them. The audience was split - both bands won the audience vote.

With a slight point difference, Terra Nova was crowned as the One 2 Beat. This three piece band was awarded the grand prize which included eight hours of studio recording time from Chapman Recording as well as a album photo shoot and cover design provided by JL Portraits & Fine Art. The runner up received $100 cash.

The evening's events also included some stellar Karaoke singing by audience members. The purpose of this event was to allow teens an outlet to play their music, their way - regardless of what type. The entire event was completely blessed by God and would not have taken place without the prayers of many in attendance. A very special thank you goes out to all who in attendance to support these bands.
