On Friday, April 8, the Rowlett Mighty Eagle Band will hold its annual Silent Auction & Dinner at Rowlett High School. A full Italian dinner will be catered by Valentino’s Ristorante. This year’s event will also feature a few unique live auction items including a row of seats from the original 1980s interior decor of a Southwest 737 with ashtrays in the armrests. Troy and Alesia Cox from Rowlett Rustic Creations will present a special art piece for live auction created from debris from the Dec. 26, 2015, tornado that severely damaged more than 1,000 homes in Rowlett.
Bob Holland, professional auctioneer and the grandfather of RHS band member Victoria Patterson, will lead the live auction.
Tickets are $15 in advance (by April 1) and $20 at the door. Doors will open at 6:15 p.m. Dinner will be at 6:30 p.m. Entertainment will be provided by the award winning Rowlett High School Jazz Bands – fresh off their March 19 TCU Jazz Festival Championship, where Jazz 1 placed first in varsity and Jazz 2 placed second in non-varsity.
