The Andrews Brothers know well over 1,500 songs. Each song that they play throughout the evening is requested by guests, making the audience a part of the show. All song requests will be in the form of donations to SRTC’s Foundation, which annually provides more than $100,000 in scholarships to students in the seven counties that SRTC currently serves.

Guests are encouraged to bring cash, check, and credit or debit cards to ensure their favorite tunes are performed.  Those familiar with the Savannah Smiles piano bar in Savannah, Georgia will have an idea of why the foundation’s board of trustees are so enthusiastic about bringing this high-energy live music event back to Moultrie, according to a press release from the school.  

Along with musical entertainment, the SRTC Foundation will be showcasing outstanding alumni from the community with a special presentation. The foundation is currently seeking out candidates for the Distinguished Alumni Award who have excelled since they graduated from Southern Regional Technical College, or from the former Moultrie or Southwest Georgia technical colleges. Graduates from any year are eligible for the award. Members of the community may nominate a former SRTC student, and alumni may self-nominate as well as become part of the SRTC Alumni Association for free by visiting http://southernregional.edu/alumni-network. All stories must be submitted by July 10.
