Lovely acoustic melodies and electrifying alternative rock sounds soared through the Quick Center on Saturday night. The Routes played before a full house, which is 740 people in the Quick Center theater. The Alternate Routes consist of two Fairfield alumni who brought their talent back to their alma mater.

See what's happening on TV, in concerts and on the Fairfield University campus.

I'm totally swept away. Please come back to perform in Miami soon. I want to invite my friends. I wish there were classes to learn to dance Folklorico in Miami. It's a dream! It's an experience to remember forever, wrote Susan in Coral Gables, Florida on ticketsnow.

It was not too long ago that Eric Donnelly and Tim Warren were partying at Fairfield. Now, the duo is a part of the rock band Alternate Routes, and their music has been featured in such places as the MTV reality show "The Hills." The group's most recent album "Good and Reckless and True" has enjoyed a nice showing on the music stage, and the group plans to release a new album soon.

This year, a new policy has been instituted that deals with the consequences of minor first-offenses on Fairfield's campus.

This fall, a new reality show on Bravo will be headed by "Project Runway's" Tim Gunn. Gunn, who is known to 'make it work,' is now heading a "What Not To Wear"-type show called "Tim Gunn's Guide to Style."

If you weren't in the lower level of the BCC this Monday night, you missed the performance of Black Violin, a pioneering duo sponsered by FUSA. At first, many were questioning what would actually transpire. The audience was impressed as soon as their bows strung across their violins and some were so into performance that people started dancing.

The tragic events of the shooting at Virginia Tech, which caused more than 30 deaths, are immensely devastating, and our deepest condolences go out to all those who were affected. This recent event was extremely terrifying for those immediately impacted by the shooting and students across the country.
