Project 28 to Play at Relay For Life in North Reading

Project 28, who won North Reading's Battle of the Bands contest last year, will be playing at the Relay for Life on May 31. Their set will start at 8 p.m.

The youth rock band is looking forward to lending their support to the Relay for Life for the second year in a row. They will perform on the North Reading High School field.

“We’re all happy to be playing again at this years’ relay, we had such a great time last year," band member Hannah Lydotes said. "Plus this year, Brian and I will be on teams to support the cause. Hope to see everybody there!”

The band went from five members to three last year. Lydotes, who is in eighth grade, plays guitar and sings; high school junior Brian Lee plays the bass guitar and sings; and high school freshman Richie Gonzalez plays the drums.

The Relay for Life starts at 6 p.m. on May 31 at the high school. They have 39 teams and 399 participants this year, according to their website. So far, the participants have raised $71,278.50.
