Wind Symphony concert has something old and something new
By Rachel Ward
Picture this: dramatic notes of music fill an auditorium, flowing from over a dozen instruments. As the music builds to a crescendo, the room suddenly flashes with blinding white light. Overcome with emotion, you raise your hand to shield your eyes, and your heart beats rapidly.
On November 2, the 79-person wind symphony ensemble performed a selection by Steven Bryant: “Ecstatic Waters,” “Solace” and “The Automatic Earth”.

The devastating impact included more than 1,400 Israelis being killed in the initial attack at the beginning of October, and more than 10,000 Palestinians being killed in Israel’s counterattacks. As Americans watching from the safety of our homes, it is easy to point fingers and assume the blame lies completely on one side. In reality, the complex conflict has a ...

Students share their perspectives on the ongoing nursing home debate
By Maggie Fipps
The reputation of nursing homes, if they had a good one to begin with, took a hit after 2020. With 168,579 COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes alone, the pandemic highlighted their staffing deficiencies. In response, Biden’s campaign promised to give adequate staffing and training to nursing home aides and give long-term caretakers better benefits and pay.
In September, the administration took steps to fulfill those promises. The new regulations require three hours of ...

Although all of LOL’s shows are improv there is still a lot of practicing that goes on behind the scenes. The org meets for ...
‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ is a reminder to confront unflinchingly cruel sides of history often forgotten
By Ben Konuch

Martin Scorsese’s newest film, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” is by no means an easily accessible film to watch. Its runtime is close to three and a half hours, it holds a firm R rating and deals with some of the bleakest subject matter I’ve seen in a major Hollywood production.
Yet in spite of ...
