T Our fourth and most successful Mu¬ sic Fest was held in January of ' 86. Sever¬ al improvements in our running of the Fest improved the quality of our pro¬ gram immeasurably. The first was the hiring of a professional sound man to mike all of the vocals and provide a high quality P.A. system. Another strength of the program was the depth and variety of our talent. Bands such as The Blues Connection featured a jazz rock syn¬ thesis while bands such as De Sade of¬ fered a more standard rock sound. We also invited two Music Fest alumni groups, Armageddon and The Solution, to bolster an already impressive array of talent. Small act high points were pro¬ vided by singer Sarah Parker, the duet of Rachel Cooper and Ana Perez, saxa- phone player Bob Driscoll, and several classical musicians who balanced out the program nicely. All musicians played to a receptive audience that re¬ quired very little, if any, chaperoning. The overall success of the program left all performers and co-ordinators feel¬ ing rewarded and anxious to produce Music Fest ' 87. David Sobkowitz entertained the audience with his highly original music. Bob Driscoll and Jason Boone got really hot on their saxaphones with some cool blues. Deb Daugherty impressed music lovers with her great talent for the viola. 26 Music Fest
