BIG BENEFIT SATURDAY | Drummer Asa Merrill and teacher Josh Stumpff mix it up in an impromptu rehearsal for “Cents and Change,” a new RUHS band that’s creating a lot of buzz. The group is teaming up with many other young local bands in a massive fundraiser this Saturday at Vermont Independent School of the Arts in Sharon. Come Saturday from 2 to 4, bring a pot luck item, a donation for the benefit, and listen to great tunes on the last day of January. (Herald / Bob Eddy)
