The concert begins at 6:45 p.m. in the auditorium. There is no charge for the event, but donations will be accepted.
Net proceeds from the event will go toward the travel fund of the GHS band and choir, said Mike Connell, band director.

Served to more than 400 people each year, the menu consists of pork burgers, baked beans, chips, cookies and drinks.
