On Monday, Feb 1, Lyndon's Music Business and Industry department held a Haiti Relief concert that raised over $1000.
The concert began at 7 p.m. in ASAC 100 and lasted for several hours. In addition to money donations, many people also donated their time and talent in order to make this
event a success.
"The Pizza Man donated 10 large pizzas for us to sell," said Music Business professor Beth Norris. Norris also said that police officers Mike Bergeron and Gerry Delisle donated their time to help secure the event.
The night saw much great talent from a wide range of performers. Some of the bands that participated included The Reves, Caledonia, Fractures, Double Down, Static Season, and the League of Women Voters. Solo appearances were made by Kali Stoddard-Imari, Caitlin Kolson, Zach Ummer, Ohanga "Freddie" Losambe, Zachary "Sonny" Edwards, Jake Machell, and Kemal Cross.
All of the proceeds from this concert will be sent to "Free the Kids," a medical charity located on the grounds of Haiti.
Jean Charles and Beth Norris both confirmed Thursday that that the total money raised has now reached $1200 thanks to a donation from one of Lyndon's faculty.
