TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) – They are banding together in Tupelo to help those affected by the tornado.A variety of bands and singers took the stage at Tupelo’s Fairpark Thursday evening for a concert called “Band Together.”The concert was organized in the aftermath of the April 28th tornado as a way to help those impacted by the twister.There was no set price,  but donations were taken at the gate.

“I think this, you see Tupelo spirit in action, you see volunteers coming together, creating an event, fortunate the Elvis festival is already planned, the stage was already brought in, basically extended the Elvis festival an extra night and had the band together event tonight.”

The Band Together event took place on the same stage that will be the site for Elvis Fest concerts Friday and Saturday evening.
