41st season opens
at Doon on May 4

It is a case of youth doing some-
thing for youth.
Three students from F. E. Madill
Secondary School, Vv'ingham, have
planned, organized and pulled
together a concert with numerous
bands, to be held at Brussels, Mor-
ris & Grey Community Centre,
May 1.
With the guidance and support of
the Brussels Optimists, Joshua
Gropp of Brussels, Rob McKercher
of Jamestown and Shaun Scott of
Teeswater have arranged Face
Plant '98, an evening for young.
people from across the area where
they can enjoy their brand of alter-
native music created by local
artists.
Gropp, McKercher and Scott,
also known as Perish, who have
been playing together as a band for
several months, thought youth
bands needed an opportunity to
showcase their talents.
By using their contacts with oth-
ers interested in music, the trio
have brought together Listless,
from F. E. Madill, South Paw from
Markdale and Starving Friday from
Moorefield. There is also an effort
to acquire a Goderich-based band.
Earl Filsinger of Stratford will be
providing the sound system.
Asked why this type of venue,
McKercher responded, "Just
because we love our music."
After the idea was sparked in
December, the group sought assis-
tance from the Brussels Optimist,
both in sponsoring the event and
providing security for the evening.
Optimist members will tend the
entrance door, ensuring once
patrons go in, they stay in.
"Anyone exiting will- not be
allowed back in," says Gerry
Wheeler, club liaison.
This security will minimize the
possibility of problems with drugs
or alcohol at this substance-free
event, which the organizers want to
avoid.
Gropp says the Optimists have
been a really big help, covering the
insurance and initial costs along
with security.
"They have loaned us the money
for expenses and will be paid back
after the concert. Any profit will go
to the Children's Help Foundation."
One of the main Foundation ser-
vices available for youth in the
region is the children's help phone,
allowing young people to speak to
an anonymous person when there is
a problem.
McKercher and Gropp say that
moshing will be allowed though
regular warnings will be an-
nounced, reminding moshers of the
cement floor. No diving from the
stage be allowed.
Fz.i,ourite youth refreshments
such as pop and chips will be han-
dled by representatives from The
Ark, Brussels.
If a success, McKercher and
Gropp say they would like consid-
eration to be given to making the
concert an annual event.
The doors open at 7 p.m. The
music is set to begin at 8 p.m. and
will run until midnight or 1 p.m.
Tickets are $5 in advance or $7
at the door. They are available at
Ernie King Music, Wingham;
Tracks and Tracts, Listowel;
Joshua Gropp 887-6353 or Rob
McKercher, 887-9999.
