According to Alan Barber an auto-body shop owner and a vendor at the event “These events go over very well and I expect we will raise the funds needed.”

Good event to cover! And video too! Congrats!

Don't start the lead with WHEN. And don't start a sentence with attribution (the recent news on the BGCSAC.org stated that...).

Lead with the most interesting part of the sentence, the subject.

Some grammar and punctuation issues, which we'll review in class.

Could you include more specifics about the event.

What other bands played? Who are the Atomic Kings, how many people in the band?
How many people attended?
Could you find out how much $ they raised, or hoped to raise?

This story can be easily fixed with revisions and a little more info.

Good work!
