Thursday, November 13th, the free concert "Mangopalooza" comes to Valencia Community College's East Campus 12:45pm - 2:15pm. 701 N. Econlockhatchee Trail, Orlando, Florida.
Those over the age of 50 are welcome to attend, but you must bring cookies for the students (NOT store-bought) and pretend you're everyone's Grandma. Cheek-pinching encouraged. Face-cheeks only, please.
The concert is a "service-learning initiative" (forced volunteerism?) created by the Tuesday evening "Introduction to Marketing" class. Introduction to Marketing? Isn't that called Childhood?
Haay-yo!
The concert is free. However, it is a benefit for the Orlando Marine Institute, an alternative education facility partially supported by Orange County Public Schools. The Institute provides students aged 13-19 with special services based on their individual learning needs. So, they're asking for un-required donations. Donate to the McDiet movie first.
Also, before you commit to what could be the biggest music event at VCC since Mariah Carey's plane flew over Orlando, you need to know the line-up:
The Shorelines: recently signed (to what label I have no idea, but their signed) and just came off tour (to where, I have no idea, but their signed)
The Seven Sisters: this band "combines the best of Indie, Pop Rock, and Rock & Roll." That's specific. They've indie-pop-rolled at The Social, The Haven, and Central Station.
The Axiom Effect has "intense, melodic sounds guaranteed to 'rock the faces off' concertgoers.'"
