The City of Winder said the concert was to “foster healing and unity for the students, faculty, and families of Apalachee High School as they come together to reflect and support one another following September’s tragedy.”
Colt Gray, 14, was arrested minutes after a shooting at the school on Sept. 4 that killed four people and injured nine others.
He was charged with murder.
Gray pleaded not guilty on Tuesday.
His father, Colin Gray, has also been charged with murder.
Investigators say that Colin Gray gave his son the rifle used in the attack as a Christmas gift just months after Colt Gray was investigated for school threats in 2023.
