Advanced Rock On Rocks the Stage

Thursday, May 5—The Performing Arts Department enthusiastically featured Advanced Rock On and their rousing performance of six songs in front of a live audience in the David E. and Stacey L. Goel Theater. 

In the spirit of true collaboration, a tech crew of students in Classes II - VIII supported the show by managing all elements of lighting, sound, and even used a smoke machine for special effects. Faculty members and Illumina also contributed musically to the performances that brought everyone to their feet.
