Hey Everyone!
The Rapides Symphony Orchestra and Paragon Casino Resort present:
The Rapides Symphony Orchestra with "The Music of Led Zeppelin"
Sunday, April 26, 2009, 4pm
in the Mari Showroom at Paragon Casino Resort.
Tickets are only $15.00 and proceeds will go toward helping keep the RSO alive!
Our orchestra's in danger. Here's why:
The Decentralized Arts Funding Program (DAF) grants dollars have basically been
zeroed out by the Governor along with a significant cut in Statewide Arts Grants
(SAG). The Executive Budget presented in March contained only $515,120 for DAF
– an 83% cut down from last year's $2,984,058! Additionally, last year's budget
contained $2,611,204 for SAG and that amount was cut in the Executive Budget by
$798,624!
The House Appropriations Committee met to discuss this. We haven't heard what
came of it as of this post.
This promises to be a totally kick-ass, 2-hour+ Rock show. The band performs
ALL of the tunes just the way Lep did - note-for-note - and is fronted by Randy
Jackson of Zebra.

Remember, it's for a good cause!
Thanks! Hope to see a BIG Lake Charles crew out in the audience...... I'll be
looking for you!!
