INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Henryville Junior-Senior High School students won an online contest to bring in the top-selling act, which also is playing a full benefit concert later Wednesday at the KFC Yum Center in nearby Louisville.
The band -- Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley, and David Haywood -- played a two-song acoustic set for the students, who enjoyed music and dancing for about an hour beforehand, and were given free tickets to the night's concert.
Henryville was hit March 2 by two tornadoes -- one packing 175 mph winds -- on a day when storms killed 13 people in Indiana and 24 in Kentucky.
