Students can take a load off amid the stress of returning to school with a free concert on the Parade Ground tonight.
The Student Activities Board will host its third annual Back to School Concert, which features funk bands Flow Tribe, Syllable Seven and X-Definition, at 5 p.m.
SAB Music Committee Chair Randall Head said Syllable Seven and X-Definition were chosen based on his past experiences with them in his own band.
“I’ve known the guys in Syllable Seven for a few years, and I saw X-Definition play with them about a month ago,” Head said. “I really liked their sound and thought they would be a good fit for the sound.”
Lead singer Bobby Fields added that Syllable Seven’s members are looking forward to playing to a mostly new crowd and sharing their energetic spirit.
Head said the Smoothie King and Monster Energy Drink vans will join in to give out free samples to attendees. He said he encourages students to come out for the free event, adding that its rain location is the Union Theatre.
