Watch NJ Shout Down Drugs Concert on Comcast On Demand

The 38 teens representing every county in New Jersey who competed in this year’s annual New Jersey Shout Down Drugs competition, held at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) in Newark in May, can now watch their performances in high definition on the big screen on Comcast On Demand.

New Jersey Shout Down Drugs challenges high school students across the state to create powerful peer-to-peer substance abuse prevention messages. The best entries are chosen from every county and compete head to head in front of a panel of judges to be declared the statewide champion. Champions spend the next year touring around the state, spreading their message of substance abuse prevention.

This year’s competition featured singer-songwriters, hip hop artists, and even full on rock bands. Nicole Levine, of Essex County, ultimately won the judges over with her soft rendition of her original song “I Hope That You’ll Say No”.

Comcast has made the entire 2013 New Jersey Shout Down Drugs event available as a free on-demand program.  From the On Demand menu all a Comcast Digital Cable customer would have to do is simply select Get Local/Community Investment/Drug Awareness.  The program is available in HD as well as SD.

“We can’t thank Comcast enough for their support in this noble endeavor,” said Angelo Valente, executive director of Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey. “Not only does it excite our contestants to see themselves on television and inspire next year’s performers, but it also offers an invaluable way for parents and kids to sit in the comfort of their own homes to enjoy an evening of quality music, filled with positive prevention messages.”
