The Sounds of Colorado College had a successful first semester of events, such as Gayhard Productions: Bubbles and Bass, Homeboy Sandman, Shabazz Palaces, and more. Although first semester Events Manager Quinn Webb has graduated, Francesca Lipinsky is excited to continue with a few events to end the school year. The Sounds of Colorado College is currently planning Battle of the Bands. This event is a great opportunity for students to come together to show support and vote for some of their favorite bands in the hopes that they will have the opportunity to perform at Llamapalooza, the annual music and arts festival at the end of the year.
The station has also hired junior Eliza Jacobson who will be taking over sophomore David Andrews’ position as Program Manager. She has been a DJ since her freshman year here at CC and plans on having her own show this year as well. Although the SOCC does have a substantial focus on events, it is first and foremost a radio station.
“I would like to see the SOCC expand and improve next year,” said Jacobson. “First, I believe there should be more of an emphasis on the promotion of student shows.” The SOCC streaming in the dining halls will be a good first step.
Lastly, Erin Sugarman is the Online Content Manager and will be managing thesocc.org and senior Caroline Andryc will be taking over Rain Robinson’s position of Promotions Manager.
The Sounds of Colorado College staff is excited to end the year with a bang. With the addition of new staff committed to expanding the station, the music scene will be in good hands. With a few small but important upgrades in the studio and the possibility of streaming in the dining halls, it will be a great opportunity to hear student voices and student choices.
