Teen bands will perform beginning in September during Concerts in the Courtyard at the Chandler Community Center.

The new free event will take place once a month, from September through November.

There will be snacks, lawn games and the performances from 6-8 p.m.

The schedule of bands:

• Sept. 8 – Blue Cheese
• Oct. 13 – Malfunction
• Nov. 3 – Zero Reasons

“As someone who was once a teenager trying to start a band, I know how difficult it can be to find somewhere to perform,” said Kennedy Terrill, recreation coordinator and event organizer.

“I recognized that we have the perfect space here at the Chandler Community Center for these bands to play and get the experience they need to propel their musical career while Chandler residents come together to have a fun, laid-back evening with family and friends.”

Chandler residents and nonresidents are invited.

The Chandler Community Center is at 125 E. Commonwealth Ave.
