SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) -The South Dakota Rock and Roll Music Association inducts nine bands into the Hall of Fame April 15th and 16th in Sioux Falls.
Organizer John Mogen says money raised in the two day celebration helps high school bands.
Mogen says this is the third year of the fundraising effort and so far SDRRMA has contributed around $30,000 to high school bands in South Dakota. He says many of the state's students and programs stuggle to buy instruments.
SDRMMA recognizes the men and women who contributed to and had a significant impact on rock and roll music in South Dakota.
A concert Friday, April 15, features a jam session with the "Pilgrims" and several Hall of Fame inductees. Ticket for the concert are $10. The induction ceremony is Saturday, April 16, at the Ramkota Inn Exhibit Hall.
