Local rock band the Chevelles held a massive party at Average Joes, March 21 to help raise money for the Wilson Middle School Outdoors Fitness Centre program, which would cost approximately $150,000.The Chevelles Tim Carter and Scott Kanashiro. Photo by Richard Amery


 The $10 tickets and the approximately 400 people in attendance put them well on their way to achieving that goal.

 The Chevelles, as always, were affable hosts who played pretty much note perfect covers of all the hits from Thin Lizzy’s “The Boys Are Back in Town,” and rock and roll standards like Steppenwolf’s “Born To Be Wild.”


The party was well on its way as they got the entire room singing along with Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline.”
