Bands have already submitted their videos and the finalists have been notified. It comes down to Saturday night, March 30th. Who will walk away with the grand prize.

It's The Battle of the Bands In Henderson!

Growing up in a small midwestern town, it was the cool thing to do...support your favorite local band! No matter where they were playing, you showed up.

Inspirada, located in the south-west part of Henderson, has become a sought out area for many families since it's initial open in 2007.

According to their website, their goal is to build a community with open walking trails, community centers, picnic areas and other leisurable amenities.
