Benefit Concert is a Success

Last Friday, RHAM High School hosted its semi-annual Benefit Concert in order to help the victims from Hurricane Katrina. Starting off the show was the newly created five piece funk band, Hiatus, who were able to get the crowd excited for the show. Following Hiatus was Naked Sunday, a light alternative band containing four members who performed "Wrong Man", the energetic, "Hero" and the well known single, "Eve of Revolution". The third band to take the stage was The Tension, a fusion of heavy alternative rock mixed with grunge who presented the audience with older songs like "Tweek" as well as bringing forth newer pieces including "Crooked Mind" and the more emotional, never before heard song, "Streaming." The crowd was definitely feeling good as A Day Late, the hardcore band composed of six high schoolers, began their set with a tremendous amount of energy. Ending the show with a bang was Bella Lagosse, a hardcore band made up of four former RHAM students who gave the audience something to remember at this Benefit Show. In between band set ups was a jam band who played small funky rock pieces for the audience to enjoy while other bands were getting their sets ready. Overall, the show was a great performance, the bands had a lot of energy and were able to get the crowd moving. The concert raised 720$ for Hurricane Katrina which is a huge success! Thank you to all who came to support the local bands.
