Benedictine will host a benefit concert at the Trustees Theatre featuring the Modern Skirts and The Empties. The concert is Wednesday, December 20 at 7:30 and the proceeds will go towards promoting the Fine Arts department at the school. Admission is $10 and the Alumni Association is offering a $20 package which includes a pre-concert reception at the Planters Inn.
All I know about these bands is that they hail from Athens, GA. Ryan, maybe you can give us a "scouting report" for the Modern Skirts and the Empties. Dr. Whelan is the driving force behind this effort and his son, Eddie, is good friends with the band members.
I know ya'll don't give a damn about the arts, but come on out and support BC. If nothing else, you can get drunk and make fun of the kids at the concert.

I have an alternative proposal.
1) Abolish the fine arts department.
2) Use the proceeds to cut everyone's tuition by x amount of dollars.
3) Use any left-over money to send out postcards to 8th grade parents that say the following:
"We don't have an arts department at BC anymore. If you're kid is into arts, send him to Country Day. They are better at that type of stuff in the first place. We aren't going to waste money trying to be something we're not. Thanks."
