Concert Seats Still Available, Online Auction Opens

A limited number of great seats are still available for Friday’s A Lone Star Legacy, featuring music super group KC and the Sunshine Band. The Mesquite ISD Education Foundation’s fourth annual benefit concert and dinner will be held at Resistol Arena, 1818 Rodeo Drive, in Mesquite. The gala dinner will begin at 6:30 p.m. followed by the concert at 8 p.m.

In conjunction with the event, the Foundation is conducting an online auction. Bidding will run from Wednesday, March 24, through Wednesday, March 31. The auction includes items from several categories, including shopping, dining, sports and technology. To view the items and place bids, go to: www.mesquitefoundation.org/auction/

KC and the Sunshine Band are still as widely popular today as they were when they first danced onto the music scene 37 years ago. Harry Wayne Casey – KC, for short – developed a unique fusion of R&B and funk, with a hint of a Latin percussion groove, giving us an impressive string of hits like Get Down Tonight, That’s The Way (I Like It) and Shake Your Booty.

Concert-only tickets are on sale now and may be purchased for $20 and $30 at www.ticketmaster.com or at the Resistol Arena ticket booth. Table sponsorships, which include dinner prior to the concert, begin at $1,000; individuals or groups may sponsor a table by calling Foundation Executive Director Linda Lentz at 972-882-7513. For the latest concert information, visit the Foundation’s website at www.mesquitefoundation.org.
