Thanks to all for rockin’ dinner benefit

We had a blast! On March 1, Senior Services of Snohomish County and the Snohomish County Music Project held its second Annual “Good Vibrations” Dinner Show and fund-raising event at the Edward D. Hansen Conference Center in Everett. Back by popular demand, the Weatherheads Rock Band, together with the 45 piece Sound Edge Pops Orchestra, created an amazing show with music from the 60s and 70s.

Our goal was to raise money for senior programs, support the musical arts and have a wonderful evening with good friends, good food and great entertainment. Together we raised more than $120,000.

This event would not have been possible without the vision, talent and support of an outstanding group of individuals and musicians.

Roger Pawley, Music Project director, coordinated the band and orchestra. The Sound Edge Pops Orchestra performed under the direction of the exceptionally talented young conductor, Kim Roy.

The Weatherheads Rock Band completed this musical extravaganza with an incredible performance that had the audience singing and dancing to music ranging from the Beatles to Chicago to Led Zepplin and more.

A special thanks to our event co-chairs, Gary and Carolyn Weikel, our guests, donors and community sponsors who gave generously this year.

Blending a live symphony orchestra with a rock band is a uniquely wonderful experience. We are honored to have this kind of talent perform on our behalf and thrilled that this performance helped bring people together and inspired them to contribute to two worthy causes.
