Now known as T13C, 2005/2006 were stepping stones for the band as they were able to win runner-up in a MTV Orlando Battle of the Bands, hosted by Suchin Pak, gain media attention in their home state, wrote the title track for and appeared in an indie film, and played some events like the Vans Warped Tour (Hot Topic Stage), University of Florida's Gator Growl, and EarthDay Birthday (Tinker Field in Orlando, FL). T13C was also featured on the summer NBC TV show "America's Got Talent" in July 2006. They made the semi-final round and were seen by over 20 million viewers, exposing them to a national audience and paving the way for some sponsors such as Getzen Brass Manufacturing Company and Sam Ash Music. Having returned home from Paramount Studios, T13C has been on two National Tours and plans on touring the East Coast again this summer in support of their third album release. Since the release of Ten 13 Concept's second album they have been leaving the "ska scene," and now boast a Alesis Micron on stage, replacing the second horn player (trumpet) with sounds from the synthesizer. Some of the bands that T13C has played with are: Sugarcult (V2/Fearless), Cartel (TMG), The Summer Obsession (Virgin), Whole Wheat Bread (Fighting), Wheatus, Mayday Pararde (Fearless), Crash Romeo (Trustkill), Glasseater (Victory), Glory Of This (Indianola), Halifax (Drive Thru), Hot Water Music (Epitaph), On the Last Day (Victory), Into the Moat (Metal Blade), High School Football Heroes (Asbestos), Someday Never (All), A Day To Remember (Victory), Fallen From the Sky (JMB) -- warped tour stagemates (2005) HelloGoodbye (Drive-Thru) and Sunday Driver (Doghouse).
