EVENT: Doo Wop Legends Show at Rose State College
DATE: November 9, 2004
The days of sock hops, ducktails and poodle skirts return on Tuesday, Nov. 9 with the Platters, Cornell Gunter's Coasters and Beary Hobb's Drifters in concert in the Rose State College Performing Arts Theater, I-40 and Hudiburg Drive.
"Only You," "Under the Boardwalk," "The Great Pretender" and "Love Potion #9" are just a few of the groups' many top hits from the 50s and 60s. Proceeds from this concert will fund 50 Rose State summer scholarships in 2005.
"Each year the Rose State College Foundation identifies two special events to raise money for student scholarships," said Susan Loveless, Rose State associate vice president for resource development and executive director of the RSC Foundation. "This concert is the first event for the year and the goal is to raise $25,000."
The two main areas of focus for the Rose State College Foundation are scholarships and academic enhancements. The Foundation awards 200 scholarships annually totaling $115,000. In addition to general scholarships, the Foundation awards 58 endowed scholarships and scholarships funded by College associations, community organizations and individuals.
Tickets are $45 and $35 and available by calling 297-2264 or 1-800-364-7111 and on-line at www.tickets.com. For more information, contact Loveless at 1-405-736-0315.
