The supposed highlights of a year at college are the concerts. Maybe it’s the lack of quality music nowadays, lack of interest or lack of budget, but why does it seem like Fairfield always fails when it comes to the fall concert?
How does Sacred Heart pull such big names but we can’t? They’ve had Maroon 5, The Fray and Kid Cudi, just to name a few recent acts. They’re in the same town as us, they’re about the same size as us, yet they pull off huge shows that draw big crowds from outside of their campus –why can’t we do the same thing?
It seems like students are always traveling to other schools to go see the concerts featuring artists they actually like – and would pay and travel to see.
We understand that it’s hard to pinpoint the music interests of the student body, but you would think that with students running such events they would know or have a decent input of which artists to bring in.
If FUSA didn’t want to catch as much criticism, maybe they could have sent a poll to students with potential artists. So even if they didn’t like the headliner, at least the student body would have had a say.
And also – having the concert on Halloween weekend? Encouraging us to dress up in our Halloween costumes …really? We’re definitely not going to be enjoying rocking out at a massive dance party if some girl next to us is trying to be a Greek goddess and the dude next to us is attempting to be Top Gun guy. Halloween is skanky enough as it is – add in dancing with the girl in the barely-there Greek goddess outfit…it could get ugly…fast. She could lose that toga faster than you can say “Like a G6”…just saying.
