To the Editor: Saturday was the first time I attended one of the spring concerts. It was the first one which I was even remotely interested in seeing. I, like most Fairfield students, had never heard of Howie Day, but after going to his website and listening to a few sound bytes, I decided he was worth seeing for $8.
It was a good show. His ability to use the pedals around him to layer beats and harmonize with himself was pretty entertaining, although you couldn’t really dance to any of his songs.
However, I spoke with a friend of mine who attends York College in York, PA. Their spring concert was also on Saturday. They had Third Eye Blind. Tickets were not extremely expensive at $15. Last year, they had Lifehouse with Michelle Branch and The Calling. I don’t understand how it is possible that a school which is less known than our own, out in Pennsylvania, and with a tuition of only $13,570 per year could consistently get FAR better concerts than we do. Something just does not add up. I am hoping that next year, being my last year here at Fairfield, will be someone that my friends will be jealous of for once.
Sincerely, Cathy Auriana ’04
