mu5ic to tfi6 ears by Joey Gundrum Exit 245 uses talent and hunnor to attract enthusiastic crowds time after time Exit 245 was an all-male a cappella group that enthralled audiences with its amazing beat-box and singing abilities. The group ' s songs ranged from all- time favorite Disney classics such as A Whole New World from Aladdin to Fix You by Coldplay. The men of Exit 245 came across as an easygo- ing group of guys. Many of the best friends I made at JMU have come from this group, said senior Mike Cordingley, president of Exit 245. It is incred- ible to watch the group dynamics change over the past four years, but one thing has remained constant and that is the friendships formed through the group. Another incredible thing about being in Exit [245] is that we work our butts off rehearsing, learning new music, touring up and down the east coast and it all pays off when we get the response we want from a crowd because they like what they hear and how we perform. The responses to Exit 245 ' s performances proved that all the members ' hard work really did pay off. Exit 245 was placed on the 2007 Best of College A Cappella (BOCA) album, produced by Varsity Vo- cals. Its cover of Fix You was selected for the album. It feels amazing to be selected to be on ' BOCA ' 2007, said Cordingley. We have worked extremely hard as a group and to be receiving that kind of recognition makes it all feel worth it. It is such a great honor to be selected to be a part of something as well respected as the ' BOCA ' compilations. Exit 245 participated in concerts for programs such as Operation Santa Claus in which the profits were contributed to a variety of causes. On Dec. 8, the group performed at one of its biggest concerts of the year, the Exam Slam Cram Jam, an event organized with the hope of providing students with an entertaining way to wind down before final exam week. At the concert, which was performed to a full house, four new songs were premiered. The event featured a full lighting rig and professional sound system. The crowd went wild over the hilarity of Exit 245 ' s intermission video, which featured the group members ' transformation from geek to sleek. The event also gave the group the opportunity to honor senior James Minnix, as it was his last concert of his four years with the group. We are also hoping to record a new CD next semester to be released in the fall of 2007, said Cordingley. A consistent goal in Exit is to continue to push the envelope with the caliber of our perfor- mances and our music. Eta Sigma Gsimma The goal of Eta Sigma Gamma was to enhance student knowledge and appreciation of the health disci- pline. The group sponsored Stack- ing Up Against Hunger, a week- long event dedicated to collecting canned food for local food shelters. Front row: Melissa Carrithers. Laura Higgins. Chrysta Terenzi.
