The Sams auditorium

is the setting for the seventh annual Fayette Senior Services concert

and this year's program featuring the Silver Eagles Band as the main act

will also showcase two outstanding high school musical groups. The concert,

which will begin at 7 p.m. Saturday, will have special presentations by

a high school jazz band and a male vocal quartet.

The Silver

Eagles Band performs every other Friday at the Wyndham in Peachtree City

and is a definite crowd pleaser. The band consists of lead vocalist and

guitarist Tom Jordan, Arthur Jinks on bass, John Wheeler on keyboards

and Fayette Coutny resident Vicky Saylor on drums.

"We are

very ahppy to entertain at this year's Fayette Senior Concert," said

Jordan. "It is very gratifying to be able to help raise money for

seniors." Rather than have a pre determined set list, the group depends

on audience responses and requests. Some of their most popular songs are

"Mustang Sally," Margaritaville," and "Under the Boardwalk."

The Fayette

County High School Jazz Band will bring us some of the big band classics

that are sure to stir many memories. Members of the band are Nik Banchat,

Derek Bankieris, Kenneth Beard, Sarah Bradley, John Brandes, Nathan Brandes,

James Brannon, Billy Buchanan, Andrew Gray, George Harkness, Amanda Hearington,

Robert Henley, Daniel Houghton, Erica Porter, Austin Richardson, Scott

Vanclovic, and George Wiggins. They are a very talented group of young

musicians and their performance will please listeners of all ages.

Adding spice

to the program will be the Male Quartet of the Fayette County High School

Select Chorus. The quartet, comprised of tenor one Reuben Bidez, tenor

two Stephen Weitzel, baritone Sean Cox, and bass singer Jeremy Williams,

will be singing their version of the Platter's number one hit "Only

You" and two other numbers.

"While

listening to this really fabulous group during a photo session, I enjoyed

a muscial treat that brought back nostalgic memories. We were very fortunate

to book the quartet with the busy schedule they have this time of year,"

said Wallace Kite, emcee for this year's Fayette Senior concert.

Shortly after

the concert, the quartet will be leaving with the chorus for New York

City where they will be performing at St. Patrick's Cathedral and other

venues throughout the city. The chorus will be presenting their annual

spring musical program next month and this years program will feature

favorites heard on the radio.

"The proceeds

from the concert are a vital part of the budget each year as we serve

a growing number of seniors each year," said Andy Carden, Executive

Director of Fayette Senior Services. "We really appreciate the FSS

Board of Directors, community partners, and the concert committee that

work so diligently to sponsor this event. The musicians and all the volunteers,

especially the Metro Fayette Kiwanis, really go all out to make the concert

an annual success."

Tickets for

the concert are $5 in advance and $7 for adults and $3 for students at

the door. Advance tickets can be purchased at Fayette Senior Services

at 390 Lee St. in Fayetteville. Phone 770-461-0813 for additional information.
