Fall Out Boy Comes To Mira Mesa Epicentre

I recently went on a tour of the Mira Mesa Epicentre, and was impressed with the variety of activities they provide to our teens at a very reasonable price. They have a computer lab, with several computers available for students to use for homework research, a pool table, ping pong table, and a large dance floor for the kids to practice their break dance skills. They also offer classes in music production, song writing, and many others. This location is also a venue for concerts, which in a large part funds the various programs that are available during the day. Although many acts are local, they also attract major headliners like Fall Out Boy that will be playing on Saturday, December 20. Ticket prices are more than reasonable, and the venue provides an up close and personal experience for all in attendance.

Their mission is to prepare teens for the 21st century so they can create happy, successful lives. They accomplish this by focusing on teens’ interests and strengths, developing their skills, and connecting them to real business and community organizations. The programs are built on technology, music, and culture. Epicentre membership is $25 for annual membership. Membership entitles the student to participate in programs, and utilization of the facility and its resources Monday through Friday.  Some classes fall on “Member-only” days (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) and non-members must pay to participate in the programs.  Please contact Youth Program Coordinator, David Proulx, for more information regarding per diem program fees and any other questions you may have at 858-271-4000 x 13.
