Time: 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

My husband (former lead singer/songwriter/bassist for Kwench) was approached by a local teenage band looking for someone to be their lead vocals for one night only - TONIGHT.  This local band is playing for a benefit concert tonight for a local middle school student, Avery Downing.  Here is some information about Avery:

Avery Downing is a 13 year old Level 9 competitive gymnast at River City Gymnastics. She is in the 7th grade at Houston Middle School in Germantown, Tennessee. She is in Honor Society and Beta Club and is very active in the Jr. High Youth program at Grace Evangelical Church.

On January 10, 2012 she suffered an accident while practicing on the uneven bars. She broke her back at T11 and T12 which damaged the spinal cord. On Wednesday, January 11, Dr. Warner from Campbell Clinic and Dr. Maullbauer from Semmes Murphy performed surgery to realign and secure the spinal column. The surgery went well.

She has since returned home from Atlanta, GA after receiving physical therapy. She still has a long road ahead of her but is making good strides.

To help support her medical needs, Houston Middle School will be putting on a fundraiser dance this Friday night. It's a "Battle of the Bands" in honor of Avery. We have two bands and a DJ that will battle it out and perform for the kids at the dance.

I (Dawn) am going to be there tonight to cheer the band on, and support Avery I hope I see some MMM readers there.  If you would like to go, here is the information you will need:
