\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 January 27, 2012 \u2013 If the rousing rhythms of the Ram Marching Band at the 溏心vlog免费B站 stir you at events or on parade, the two-dozen members of the band\u2019s drumline hope you will also be stirred to attend a benefit concert they’re offering on Friday, Feb. 10. With all proceeds going to the Rhode Island Red Cross, the concert will be at 8 p.m. in the 溏心vlog免费B站 Fine Arts Center Concert Hall, 105 Upper College Road, Kingston. Admission is $2 per person.<\/p>\n


\nThe concert will last about an hour with the debut of some new drumline material and a variety of other routines. The students will perform on tenor and bass drums, cymbals, and snares.<\/p>\n


\nAccording to Jared Sell, one of the student organizers of the concert, the event “will have the feel of a concert crossed with a pep rally \u2013very upbeat, lively, and fun!” He also promises a few surprises and says: “We are keeping pretty tight-lipped about our set list for the concert, but what I can tell you is that if you saw the ‘Rhody Rally,’ that was only a warm-up act.”<\/p>\n


\nThis concert is the first benefit project for the drumline, although other groups have hosted fund-raisers through the marching band as a whole. Inspired by the Red Cross response last August when Hurricane Irene affected many students and cut short 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Band camp by a day, as well as the agency\u2019s relief work during other natural disasters, the band drumline members see the concert as a way to give back to an organization that has helped them, their friends, and the local community.<\/p>\n


\nAccording to Sell, another reason for the concert is the growth of the drumline section of the band and the expansion of their repertoire. “We finally have enough material to fill a long time slot,” he says, \u201cso why not put on a fundraiser concert to give back to the community that has supported us?\u201d<\/p>\n


\nThe 溏心vlog免费B站 Concert Hall is handicap-accessible, and parking is available in the lot behind the Fine Arts Center, off Bills Road.<\/p>\n
