:Stephanie Wessman The loud, excited voices of the fans become quiet as dark silhouettes appear on stage. The crowd holds ifs breath and waits for The mu- sic TO begin. After a concert you can say ‘Hey, | actually saw them, | was ten feet from them she touched my hand, sophomore Ward Black said. Some students only bought a ticket while others spent up to $70 for a concert, buying not only tickets but T- shirts, posters and programs. An alternative to paying the average $17.50 ticket cost fora big name group was to see a concert Or ተከ Maintenance Shop. The M-Shop offered a smaller, more personal at- mosphere with tickets usual- ly costing $4. Students that and the Range June 23 at C.Y courtesy of the R ruce Hornsby performed on Stephens.

I could see a group at the M-Shop that might become famous and meet people that could someday be big,” junior Kate Wilson said. Although the M-Shop was popular with some studenrs, the majority preferred see- ing big name groups. With an album you just lis- ten, but with a concert there's a little bit of theatre. Rush is known for putting on a good show and the crowd was full of die-hard fans, so there was a great amount of energy, junior Peter Fatka said. Fatka saw Rush OCKIN e night away at concerts in Kansas City April 7. Junior Lexi Leacock was among the many students who traveled to lowa City to see U2 on October 20. It was incredible to see U2 live, Leacock said. We were in the midst of a crowd of people so intense that ዘ was both scary and exnila- rating. We were in the fourth row and when everyone rushed the stage, we seri- ously thought we were go- ing to die. Other acts were more laid Dack. The crowd at Whitney Houston was different be- cause there were a lot of older people. Everyone was mellow but enthusiastic, ` freshman Staci Kepley said. Hundreds of Bic lighters cre- ate a glow in the dark audi- torium. Applause weicomes the group back on stage for a final song. The concert may be over, but it won't be forgotten. 14
