A Concert to Save Stoneham Arts and Music
From Randy Perillo of Stoneham United:
"SHS alums Jason Webber ('01) and Joe Price ('02) plan to stage a "rock" concert that will be open to other musical ensembles as well. The event should be held at SHS on August 18th. Expect tickets to cost $25 - 30 with proceeds to benefit the fine arts program in Stoneham. Webber and Price estimate that about a dozen local bands will perform free of charge.
Such an event would require police and fire protection, school committee approval, and SHS approval. There will be no sale of alcohol and the concert should be open to all ages. The cafeteria, however, could be open for vending that would also increase revenues generated by the event. SPSF hopes some vendors will provide food and beverages as a donation in exchange for exposure in the concert program and the cafeteria.
I suggested that Stoneham Public Television record the concert. A replay of the event at a later time, along with information on how to donate to the cause, would hopefully generate more donations after the live event."
