This year’s concert is the fifth annual benefit for Fitch and Stonington High School’s Music Departments. Each year both schools held separate events this is the first year both schools came together in a joint effort to bring their school’s music students together on stage. The music students from both schools will perform back up instrumentation on some songs with Frontiers Journey Tribute.

Katrina Gottlieb, band director at Stonington High School said “It is a great experience for our music students to learn pop music and to perform with professional musicians with big arena sound and lighting. “

John Frascarelli, music director at Fitch High School said,” The past benefit shows have been a complete success and has contributed much needed funds to our music program, The students enjoy learning the music of all of the past rock shows and this is a unique and fun way to raise funding for our cause.”

Past benefit shows for both Stonington and Fitch High Schools included Beatlemania, Kashmir, Led Zeppelin tribute, Tusk, Fleetwood Mac tribute, The Classic Stones and others.

This year’s concert will feature Frontiers Journey and is the next best thing to the real Foreigner and Journey, the band’s tribute performances have been selling out throughout the country and just recently at the Stadium Theater in Rhode Island.
