When I first thought of the music scene here, I didn't think that there'd be much of one at all, or that it would even be very impressive. I pictured a bunch of people who thought they were musicians and God's gift to mankind screaming their lungs out on stage while pounding on a guitar. Sometimes this isn't far off, but most of the time I am surprised and happy for the surprise. The world we live in is very tough, the competition to be heard musically is really hard, because there is so many sounds out there that it is hard to sound original anymore.
The main thing for most of the musicians I know, is that having fun while playing is the most important thing. When you take away that element, the music loses it's power. I've gone to alot of the music concerts and shows here and have enjoyed myself.
One thing I would like to tell other students is to go to other events besides guitars unplugged. Many students see guitars unplugged as the only show worth going to, but this is not true. There are many other shows put out by the school that do not recieve alot of support. There are also plenty of shows outside of campus that go on, and are decently advertised. Support your fellow students in their passion, and maybe karma will come back to you with yours.
