If bands like Galapagos, Jaminators, Ali Harter and Sunshine Bear aren’t enough to go out on a Friday night, listening to them for a good cause may help.

Hosted by the OU chapter of Engineers Without Borders, the concert will begin today at 4 p.m. at Andrews Park, just south of the Norman Public Library. Donations will be accepted at the show for the organization’s projects in Guatemala.

According to the student group’s Web site, OU Engineers Without Borders is a student group that partners with disadvantaged communities to improve their quality of life.

Casey Gray, OU alum and project leader for Engineers Without Borders, said tonight’s show will be the perfect opportunity for OU students and the Norman community to get involved with the humanitarian organization.

“The idea behind the concert is to raise money and awareness and let people know what we are doing,” he said. “While [attendees] are having fun, they will be doing good for other people.”

Along with the music, Gray said the organization would work to inform audience members about the organizations projects in La Pradera del Quetzal and Rio Bravo.

On their first trip, the organization helped provide a sustainable and reliable water distribution system in the village of La Pradera del Quetzal. This summer, they intend to build the foundation of a large schoolhouse.

Gray said the organization selected bands for the concert that cared about what Engineers Without Borders was doing and wanted to help out, and the music would showcase several different styles and should appeal to everyone.

Royce Sharp, film and video studies senior and guitarist for Sunshine Bear, said his band is ready to rock out for the good cause and are excited to see the other bands perform.

“This is going to be our first show,” Sharp said. “I’m looking forward to playing and hopefully [we’ll] rock balls.”

He said the band supports what Engineers Without Borders is doing and are glad to be playing their first show for the organization and their projects in Guatemala.

Yonathan Reches, civil engineering sophomore and the student group’s vice president, said the organization’s goal for the event is to get the community involved with their work and put on a good show that everyone can enjoy.

“We would rather have a large turn out and not a lot of money,” he said. “It is important to us that OU take an interest in Engineers Without Borders.”

A display with examples of different water qualities will be set up on the lawn at tonight’s show and members of the organization will be around to answer questions about the group’s work.

According to Reches, the organization is not just for engineering majors. The group is open to anyone who wants to help and do something good for developing communities.
