GSC's annual spring band concert, under the direction of Professor Lloyd Bone, is set for 8:00 p.m. at the Fine Arts Center. Tickets for the band concert may be purchased at the door.

Several activities have been scheduled for Saturday. including a noon track meet and a 2:00 p.m. softball game (GSC vs. Bluefield State).

The evening will conclude with the alumni banquet.
