Students to play tunes at community dance

Local students in the Beacon Strings Orchestra are joining the Moab Community Dance Band for a performance on Saturday, May 19, at the Moab Arts and Recreation Center (MARC). The evening will start with a family dance from 7:30 to 8:15 p.m., followed by an “adult” dance until 10 p.m. Students will dance and play tunes for the first set of the grown-up dance. Guest caller Ron Young, from Grand Junction, will be calling the contra dance. Proceeds from the dance will go to the students’ Beacon Strings Program. There is a $7 suggested donation.
