The University of South Carolina's Greek Programming Board in conjunction with the Five Points Association's Five after Five present the Inaugural Remembrance Concert in honor of students who have passed in previous years. The first concert is dedicated to the memory of those who were lost in the Ocean Isle Fire Tragedy in October 2007. The Inaugural Remembrance Concert will provide a time for students, faculty, staff and the community to celebrate the lives of those lost. Fundraising efforts include T-shirt sales and sponsorships.
T-shirts for the Inaugural Remembrance Concert were preordered by USC and Clemson students. There will be a limited number of shirts available to purchase at the event. The cost of the shirt is $15.
Proceeds from the concert will benefit the Carolina Remembrance Fund. Your gift will provide scholarship support for USC students. Please send contributions to the following address:

VILLANOVA
w/ Danger MuffinOctober 23, 2008
Get rev'd up to get down with one of Columbia's hottest bands around. Villanova is a crossroads of rock riffs, hip-hop beats and soulful vocals that blend together into a purely unique sound that they can safely call their own. Villanova's lead singer and guitarist Brian Conner, has embedded himself perfectly with bassist Bobby Dredd, drummer Jeremy Finesse Roberson and DJ Able One to create a distinctive mix of danceable jams, hard driving rock songs and soulfully written ballads. Though Villanova's songs are radio friendly, each song is meant to be rocked out live and that is exactly what Villanova will do, rock!
