CAMARILLO, Calif., April 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- High School
Nation (HSN) has announced that the Spring 2015 installment of The
High School Nation Tour will be visiting select high schools in
California, Arizona, New
Mexico, and Nevada, kicking
off on April 20th in Baldwin Park, CA with the tour ending in
San Diego on Friday May 22nd. Talent will include
Jacob Latimore (Maze Runner, Ride
Along, & Black Nativity), Atlantic Records recording artist
Trevor Jackson, and YouTube
sensation Leroy Sanchez, as well as
Pop singer & actor Chris Bones,
Warner Bros Records teen vocalist Kaya
Stewart (daughter of Eurythmics legend Dave Stewart) and MTV winners, Palaye
Royale.
Partnering with HSN for this exciting new tour lineup is Takis:
"We support initiatives that promote music and the arts within
high schools. By helping foster student passion for music, we are
able to introduce the intensity of Takis flavors and at the same
time help spark the intensity that students have for the arts."
–Araceli Gomez, Global Marketing Manager
During the 25-city Festival Tour, High School Nation will take
over football stadiums on each of the campuses and present a 2-hour
concert and festival that will celebrate the arts in public
schools. Along with a strong showcase for music appreciation,
the festival will highlight journalism, film, fine arts, fashion,
photography, and dance. Students will visit interactive zones from
the Sony Media Zone, Guitar Center Music Zone, Tulip Art Zone, and
Tilly's Style Zone. Each school will receive a donation package
from High School Nation, totaling over ten thousand ($10,000.00) per campus.
HSN Founders Jimmy Cantillon and Kevin
Cantillon had this to say about the tour: "This 2015 lineup
is one of our best yet. To be celebrating our 100th
campus event on this tour is surreal. We can't wait to show
everyone what we have in store this year."
About High School Nation:
Over the past 10 years High School Nation has become the
country's largest high school touring agency. HSN gives exposure to
up-and-coming artists, as well as provides students with free
entertainment at a time when funding for the arts has been severely
cut nationwide. In 2014 the HSN Tour donated $500,000 worth of instruments and supplies to
school music & arts programs.
