=============================. TOPEKA MUSIC NEWS.===============================

Hello,
My name is Drew. I am the Manager for the Topeka Braves, which is a little league baseball team. We are having a fundraiser Concert on Aug. 29th at Tecumseh Park at 2nd and Tecumseh Rd. We are looking for bands that would be willing to come and play for us and help the boys raise money for next year. Whoever helps will have their band name on a banner and also posted on all flyers and e-mails that are sent out. We would really like to find at least a total of 5 or 6 bands that could help us out. The first band would go on at 11:00am. We go on 1 hr blocks or whatever you would like to do. Please give us an e-mail if you would like to help. You can e-mail me at drewpybriggs15@yahoo.com -- topekabraves@cox.net or you can call me at 213-5528. Please let us know, and remember this is an all age family event.
