A group of Ohio Northern University students and their professor are researching the concert and how it impacted the Ada community, according to Harry Wilson of ONU's management and information systems.

This May 9th marks the 40th anniversary of the event at ONU’s newly-built King Horn center. This was during KISS’ Dressed to Kill tour and they were on the verge of becoming very famous. 

"We have reason to believe that KISS played Rock & Roll All Nite for the first time ever live at the ONU concert," said Wilson.

It would be a 30-year anniversary if this edition of the Ada High School Varsity Singers were to perform again. This is the singers from the 1984-85 school year.

Names of the members is on the bottom of the photo.
