Press Release:
This is not just your average cover band. For six years, a revolving group of talented student musicians at Oregon State University, who call themselves "The Imaginary Friends Musical Alliance," has packed Milam Hall on the OSU campus, for two performances of "The Beatles at OSU."
The concerts, which benefit Corvallis' Center Against Rape and Domestic Violence (CARDV), feature live performances of a different Beatles album each year. Since the second year, a Pink Floyd album has also been added into the mix, further increasing the appeal and popularity of the performances.

The Entertainer
After most of the original Imaginary Friends graduated and/or moved on to other responsibilities last spring, it was rumored that the 2009 concerts would be the last. Fortunately, that's not the case, and “The Beatles at OSU” is back and again featuring top talent from campus and community.
The concerts are slated for Saturday, April 24 at 7 p.m. in Austin Auditorium at LaSells Stewart Center; and Saturday, May 1 at 7 p.m. in the auditorium at Milam Hall. Both locations are on the OSU main campus.
The albums selected for this year are The Beatles' "Let it Be" and Pink Floyd's "Animals."
