Concerts add fun Michael hits town Even though it seemed like it should have been, summer was not all fun. Be- sides vacationing, partying, and shopping, many students worked. Since there were many fast food joints, shopping centers, restaurants, and other businesses, in and around Aurora, a great variety of jobs were offered for students. Seniors, Joe Page and Stephanie Harr, worked at McDonalds. According to Page, an advantage of working at McDonalds, is Hit prepares you for other jobs because it teaches you to be obedient and politef' One of the main reasons students worked was to earn some extra money for clothes or other basic everyday needs. A small portion of a student's paycheck was also used to buy concert tickets, which, depending on the concert, ranged from ten to twenty dollars. Due to a well planned schedule, many concerts sold out during the summer. Many students didn't hesitate to fork out the ten to twenty dollars for a ticket to see their favorite performer. K'Even though it was raining, they came out and put on a August 20 started out to be a nice, warm day, everyone was dressed for warm weather. By the time the concert started, the weather turned cold and drizzlyg however, the Eurythmics, Annie Lennox and D.A. Stuart put on a great performance, keep- ing the mood of the fans high. Billy ldol rocks Colorado with two sold out con- certs at Red Rocks arena, on August 8th and 9th. Lara Gibson, junior, spends her tree time working at Baskin Robbins serving multicaloric desserts, such as this hot fudge sundae, to customers. 10 Summer Diversions great show, said Rod Veatch, senior, about the GoGos Concert at Red Rocks, which was also very popular. Although there were many concerts and full Friday nights throughout the sum- mer, perhaps the biggest Friday night in Denver was September 7. James Taylor performed a sold out concert at Red Rocks, and Elton John was performing at McNichols arena. As if this wasn't enough, across the street, the concert of the year was being performed - it was the Jack- son's Victory Tour. The traffic going to the Jackson's Vic- tory Tour was backed up one-half mile before the exit to Mile High Stadium, and depending on where one parked, the cost ranged from 1 to 7 dollars to get a space. The ever-popular Michael Jackson and his brothers, Jermaine, Marlon, Randy, and Tito swept Colorado with sold out con- certs on both September 7th and 8th. Since this was the last big concert of the summer, one might have said summer went out with a bang! Then, it was back to school, homework, and tests. The GoGos, much drier now, performed a great concert during the ram at Red Rocks arena on August 17 Senior, Mark Putt, worked part of his summer at a local shoestore earning extra money for leisure tim activities.
