Tuesday, at the Hunt Union Ballroom, Oneonta students came together for a great cause. In an amazing effort to raise money for The Tyler DeMarco Foundation, the Music Industry Club and Rock to Cure put on a great show sure to be remembered by those who attended. The doors opened at 7 and the crowd rushed in to see some great bands rocking out in Tylers honor.
Watermedown, Chase Huglin , and Oneonta's own Nobody's Babe, rocked out with the schools Accapella group Pitchslapped. However, the real reason everyone was there was to raise money for the foundation. Ryan DeMarco, older brother of Tyler, and former SUNY Oneonta Student was present for this years benefit. Ryan says he started the foundation after his brother passed away in February of 2010. Ryan has been raising money with a group of volunteers, donating over $100,000 dollars to children's Cancer research at St. Judes as well as the Private Room Project at Albany Medical Center.
Henry Flores a SUNY Oneonta student who said he had a great time rocking out for "a wonderful cause" alongside many other Oneonta students at Hunt Union. Also present at the event was SUNY Oneontas Charlie Clemons who thought the "crowd was having a great time" and the bands were "on point!".

Conditions are changing quickly, and the industry has some interesting counting practices that can easily confuse you unless you look at them very carefully. www.concertsutah.com
