Die-hard Creed fans will be pleased to know that the Orlando-based band is scheduled to make a rare public appearance later this month. The often low-profile band is slated to accept an award at the Florida Motion Picture and Television Association's Crystal Reel Awards on Aug. 30 in Tampa. The awards are the Sunshine State's version of "the Oscars, Emmys and Grammys all rolled into one," spokeswoman Julie Brewer said Monday. The group won't perform. But guitarist Mark Tremonti will be among those taking part in the weekend's worth of activities, which will be hosted by Married . . . with Children star David Faustino

Update: The band has later decided not to attend the awards show.
