...there were indications that the West Warwick calamity, at least, was not the product of lax regulation. The building was 60 years old and consisted of approximately 1,200 sq. ft. of concert space, a kitchen, a bar and a few pool tables off to the side. It passed a safety inspection as recently as December after infractions like malfunctioning exit signs were corrected. The venue did not have a sprinkler system, but Rhode Island state law does not require one in structures built before 1976.

There Red Cross workers assembled lists of names to determine who was missing, injured or killed in the fire.

Each ensemble performs its own repertoire followed by a joint performance of Berlioz’s “Grande Symphonie funèbre et triumphale.” The concert also includes classic works for winds like Walter Piston’s “Tunbridge Fair,” Gustav Holst’s First and Second Suites for Military Band...
...really the performance we wanted to get out of [the Fallbacks] in the first place,” he says, “but just the singing and fun.” Unfortunately, says Mehta, “The Fallbacks as a group are finished after our spring concert.” The last show is tentatively slated for just before spring break in the Straus Common Room. The group’s meteoric rise and fall may be finished with this farewell performance, but “these friendships will definitely last,” Gavitt says...
