Steve_Sullivan_Glenn_Sullivan_Paul_SomerWho can forget the music of the '70s? You remember--Led Zeppelin, Dire Straits, ELO, solo McCartney or Lennon, Crosby, Stills & Nash, the Bee Gees, Fleetwood Mac, Donna Summer, Elton John, and even Disco.

The event will benefit Area 3 Special Olympics, serving Morris, Sussex, and Warren counties, as well as the Hanover Wind Symphony. Both are non-profit organizations that serve the local community. (Above L-R: Hanover Wind Symphony trombonists Steve Sullivan, Glenn Sullivan and Paul Somer will be among those performing at the "Rock 'N' Winds '70s Night" family concert)

A family-friendly event, the Rock 'N' Winds '70s Night will include a special area for children to play that's visible so parents can watch their kids and still enjoy the music. Before the concert, there will be a tailgate party outside the venue (weather permitting).

The mission of Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for all children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.

For more than 25 years, the Hanover Wind Symphony has played to enthusiastic audiences in and around greater Morris County. The symphony thrives on sharing the enjoyment of music with live audiences, and helps mentor the next generation of wind musicians.
