Skidmore’s Drastic Measures to Sing at Spring Benefit Concert for Saratoga Sponsor-A-Scholar

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Skidmore College Drastic Measures, a co-ed a cappella music group, will headline its annual benefit concert at 8 p.m. Friday, March 28, in the college’s Filene Recital Hall. The program will feature music by Drastic Measures along with performances by Skidmore a cappella music groups the Dynamics, the Sonneteers, the Accents and the Treblemakers. The Racing City Chorus, always a crowd-pleaser, also will perform. Suggested donation for admission is $5 per person. Skidmore’s Drastic Measures has a tradition of singing to support community organizations. This year’s concert beneficiary is Saratoga Sponsor-A-Scholar, which assists economically disadvantaged young men and women with completing high school and graduating from college. The mission of the Saratoga Sponsor-A-Scholar program is to increase access to higher educational by offering support in the form of time, mentors and financial assistance. The direct beneficiaries of the program include students and their families, but the community at large will also benefit from Sponsor-A-Scholar students returning with college degrees improving the overall culture of the community.
