Rock the River

24 Oct

IMG_0218This past Thursday, October 21st, the Spanish River High School’s WSRH-TV and Gibson Guitars presented Rock the River in Boca Raton, FL.  For this event nine bands gathered to offer their music and stage presence for about three hours.  Local bands and artists Wing It, Celestial Sound, Fourth and Ten, Alaska, Dead Bang!, The Funky Nuggets, and Brett Lowenstern led the first part of the event while Amber Leigh Band and The Reprieve closed out the event.

 

 

 

IMG_0399Towards the end of the event, and probably one of the most anticipated moments, Gibson gave away a brand new Epiphone Les Paul Gibson guitar.  Rather than doing a raffle, the organizers asked those interested in this Gibson Guitar, to write a short one/two sentence description on why they should be the recipients of this awesome instrument.  The selected winner was 9th grader Gia Doxey who shared how her Dad, due to financial reasons, had sold his own Gibson guitar in order to make ends meet.

Here are some of the pics from the event!

What a great opportunity to be a part of an awesome, loud and generous event. Special thanks to WSRH’s Director, Randy Weddle, for the invitation and for putting this whole event together.

    I am the Dad and the recipient of the Gibson guitar that my daughter Gia Doxey won for me in the contest. I was totally blown away! Thanks to all at Spanish River H.S. and Gibson for sponsoring such an awesome event.

    I love you Gianna

    I most certenly liked your angle that you have on the topic. Certainly wasn’t thinking on this at the time I begun browsing for tips. Your ideas were totally easy to understand. Im glad to find out that there’s an individual online that gets it on the spot what its is talking about.

    I am looking for vendue web sites for cells that are logical and it’s safe to make on line requitals on them. I don’t like Ebay any longer. Ebay is full of misleading sellers straight off who ask for pit of money for centuries old earpieces. Thus, Whats the best on line auction sale site to buy cellphones except Ebay? Thank in in advance!
