Benefit concert

One of the ways to get points for the ONE Campus Challenge is to host a "Battle of the ONE Bands." What I'm proposing isn't exactly that, but it's music-related. Here's the quote from the ONE Points list:

"Description: Arrange a performance of campus and local bands. Try to keep the cost low and make part of the price joining the ONE Campus Challenge."

What I'm planning to do is just arrange it like we do our other benefit concerts. There will be choral performances as well as solos and duets. It says "campus and local bands," but I think that having campus and local singers of any sort should be good!

Two songs my choir already knows are "Bambelela," which means "Never give up," and is a commonly-used song in AIDS awareness performances, and "It's A New World," which speaks about changing the world to be the way we want it.

I also want to sing John Lennon's "Imagine," because I saw it done once with a slideshow running behind the singer showing images of MLK, and war scenes, and happy scenes, and all this fun stuff that makes people cry.

I'm going to do some research on possible songs, and we'll have a "donations and signups" style admissions process. We'll also have a ONE Table to count as on-campus tabling.

I'm going to talk to Cathy Roma (Choir director) about it very VERY soon.
