REVIEW: Band’s influences are distracting
I’m so tired of everything retro, revivalist, vintage or basically anything else that involves digging up some dead style just so you don’t have to put in the effort to create your own.

Students demostrate faith for Lent
Looking past politically-charged conspiracy theories that say universities indoctrinate students in atheism, Ash Wednesday is one day of the year when it becomes obvious religion still plays a part of the college lifestyle. “Remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return,” says the priest or minister as he marks each worshiper’s forehead with […]
USD brass to perform
This year’s schedule has presented some unusual challenges for the USD Brass Ensemble. The band has only been practicing since the end of winter break and they only practice two times a week for one hour. But even as they race against time at the University of South Dakota, the sounds of the brass band […]
