The event recreates the feel of the famed ‘Black and White’ Cinemax concert that Orbison performed at the Coconut Grove nightclub in 1988. "Between Planes” singer Ron Holm is noted for his heart-felt evocation of the Orbison vocal style.

The theme ‘Purple and White’ incorporates Rockford College colors.
