Besides great music and entertaining concerts, the Abilene Community Band has been working for years to make the community around them a little bit brighter.   

Tomorrow night the band will take the stage at the historic Paramount once again to raise funds for a good cause.

"Well Alex tomorrow night we are going to play something that everybody will enjoy.", explains Director Joe Stephens.

Stephens also says, "The Kiwanis are raising a share of the money we use to build a new children's wing on Hendrick Hospital. So what we are trying to do, you're right the admission is free, but is the members of the Abilene community and the big Country community would like to donate as they come in the door we will have a table set up for them to do so."

Whether you just want to hear great music from around the world or donate to the greater Kiwanis efforts to build a new children's center at Hendrick, make sure you stop by the Paramount tomorrow after 7:30pm to catch the Abilene Community Band's spring concert.
