Friday night’s performance by “Lost Autumn” was dedicated to the memory of Garrett Schlichtemeier.
All donations collected went directly to the Garrett Schlichtemeier’s family.
“Lost Autumn,” a band comprised of western Nebraska and South Dakota natives, has played at Chadron State College before and hoped to make this show bigger than the previous concert.
The concert was open to the Chadron community and all students that participated in the Scholastic Contest. Due to the three-day weekend, approximately 200 people attended, instead of the anticipated 400 fans.
“Lost Autumn did a terrific job,” said Jamie Keller, junior of Scottsbluff. “The band had the crowd going nuts for three hours straight.”
The concert was originally scheduled earlier on Friday but timing conflicts pushed the concert to later that night.
The concert had a few last minute problems that could have hindered the band’s performance. The original PA system experienced technical difficulties, causing Keller to rent a horse trailer and drive to Alliance to pick up a new PA system from the Oasis Music Center.
“The band single-handedly set up the PA system. It really makes the band versatile,” Keller said.
