Cashing in on concerts - it's all Worth ir. - Todd Miller, Senior ' 2 in Q favorite pastime of many students at HHS is to run madly from the school at dismissal time, prepare a cooler full of berQ'eragea,,pocls six people into a small Toyota, and drive to alarge coliseunjgvvhere 10,000 other people have gathered to lose their hearing. This ls, of course, a description of a concert night. Though it's not always this bad, the avid concert-goer will attest that in order to see a good concert, one may have to go to a lot of trouble, Most agree though, that it is well worth the bother. Senior concert fanatic and authority extraordinaire, Todd Miller, says, You may have to do a lot of running around, and spend some money, but once the lights go down, and the volume goes up, the party starts and it's all worth it. Sophomore Phil Spady said this about COOCSFTS, They're usually really loud and with about 10,000 other people there, it's like one mass party. One doesn't necessarily have to travel for hours to attend a good concert. Over the years, Hastings College has attracted a number of major pop performers to play concerts there. Recently, bands such as The Romantics, Reflex, Huey Lewis and the News and The Thompson Twins have performed in front of sold- out crowds. The college gives those who might not have the means to go to concerts in other cities, a chance to enjoy a good concert. Hastings High has also sponsored two live performances, The first, a band from Florida called Freefare, played a number of current pop hits. The second, a local band called Fritz, includes three HHS seniors: Riley Nelson, Toby Cummings, and Mike DeBaclser. Both bands played at dances sponsored by the high school. Some of the more popular bands that have toured in the Midwest recently have been 'lBon Jovi, Ratt, Dio, Twisted Sister, ZZ Top, and the Scorpions These concerts attract many Hastings High students to a night of loud music and excitement, David Throclsmorton 16 Cashing in on concertslConcens
