Thomas Dale students orchestrate Rock 4 Life benefit concert: "Jonathan Warren, a junior at Thomas Dale High School's Specialty Center for the Arts, was inspired by the song 'Viva La Vida' during a Coldplay concert.
'I listened to it for months and months,' he said.
Warren, who plays violin, took that inspiration and arranged the rock song for the school's 60-piece orchestra, and he's also conducting it tonight at the hunger-benefit Rock 4 Life concert." via the RTd
"It's great to see the kids being passionate about someone they don't know," said Jeanine Guidry, a member of Offering who is singing at the concert.
As of Wednesday night, the students had sold 400 tickets. The school's auditorium seats close to 800 people.
"For every dollar given to the food bank, it can provide five meals," he said. "Our tickets cost $10. That's 50 meals right there."
