The Russell County High School Mighty Laker Band is rallying its community to support a grieving family following a profound tragedy.

The band will host a Community Performance and Soup Dinner Fundraiser on Tuesday, November 3, with all proceeds from the dinner directly supporting a student of the Dobyns-Bennett High School Band in Tennessee.

The fundraiser comes in the wake of a devastating tragedy involving the Dobyns-Bennett band family. The student's parents, Brandi Elmore and Brian Elmore, were tragically killed while returning home from a Bands of America event on November 2.

In response, the Russell County Band has stepped forward to offer financial help, thoughts, prayers, and solidarity during this unimaginably difficult time.
