The music of one of the most popular bands of all time will be the centerpiece of a fundraising concert staged by the Bulloch County Foundation for Public Education. The Eagles have sold tens of millions of albums since their debut in 1972 and they still draw huge crowds to concerts every year. 7 Bridges Band is the best-known Eagles tribute band and they will bring "the ultimate Eagles experience" concert to the Statesboro High auditorium on Thursday, Aug. 13, at 7 p.m. The Nashville, Tenn., band recreates the experience of an Eagles concert, featuring one popular hit after another with some Don Henley and Joe Walsh surprises sprinkled into the mix. Tickets are available at the Statesboro Herald office, the
Statesboro Visitors and Convention Bureau, online at eventbrite.com or from a Public Foundation Trustee. Since its creation in 2006, the Bulloch County Foundation for Public Education has funded nearly 200 innovative projects for Bulloch County teachers with grants totaling more than $150,000. "We appreciate all the efforts the teachers put into teaching our students and that's what we're here for, to support the teachers in the schools," said Ann Cromley, chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation. Cromley said, "We hope a lot of people will come out to the concert, to not only support the Foundation and our teachers, but to have a nice evening out."w
